Yet there's no way anyone could possibly say that those who don't go for yearly exams don't take any medication. That's also common sense. It's not an all-or-nothing situation. The only requirement is that you understand the purpose of going to a doctor and what doctors do.
When "healthy" people go for yearly checkups, what is the point of it? Mainly, the point is for doctors to catch things early and prescribe medication and/or an operation.
The report I gave was from a Daily Sun Article. If you think you can do better, find your own study. What is it that you are trying to prove? That Dr. prescribed drugs save lives?
Okay, why don't you do a search to find out?

I could do better than The Daily Sun, but you are the one espousing the theory, so I feel the onus is on you. I know people whose lives have been saved by prescribed drugs, including myself.
