Many (most) people leave hospitals feeling highly satisfied with the work they have had done.
What they often don't consider is whether or not the work was the most appropriate for their situation.
E.g. there can be several treatments for a particular condition - all successful - but was the one they had is best for the patient or was it the most profitable for the hospital?
As for check ups as you get older these are quite useful, but often patients buy a "package" of tests at "discounted" price when many of the tests are quite irrelevant....and may NOT include tests that are particularly suited to the patient.
Good diagnosis is not necessarily reliant solely on tests - people are not machines and don't have the universal reaction to tests or results. The indicators are not the same for each person and their significance can vary from patient to patient.
What is probably more important is an in depth knowledge of the patient by the Doctor, lifestyle, history etc.
Tests however are a quick and easy way for hospitals to make money.
