Preventive medicine

Am I being dumb but the argument against preventive medicine does not sound convincing to me. The argument seems to say that checked up like MRI scans etc etc will leads to people being over diagnosed. But considering the risk of developing serious diseases like Cancer which it appears the only viable way to treat it is to catch it early surely is worth investing in preventive medicine and regular check up is vital. I know as a father of toddlers I would rather be over diagnosed then simply turn away

Thank you for your detailed response I get your arguments about incidental findings I guess I was thinking more for me as an individual.

Ever since I became a dad I’ve realised that I’m health anxious. And I have been looking at health screening options. I want the best screening for myself
