I’m not changing the topic
I addressed an argumentative tactic that you (and others) use, and I pointed out that it is foolish.

Now addressing your topic
A very chashuv person/posek once told me that he doesn’t believe in these new full body screening exams. The svarah is that many people have latent issues. Cancerous cells or heart issues that can and will go undetected for a lifetime. A person can potentially keep these latent issues from progressing with tshuva etc.
However, the moment it becomes detected, it is now a medical fact and requires treatment. Because to not treat it is now asking for an open miracle.
Obviously this doesn’t apply to people with risk factors for medical issues, because to ignore those risk factors is also a form of asking for an open miracle.
