“Further investigation” is generally an unpleasant endeavor. Especially if unnecessary.
My BIL had a routine calcium scoring CT done and was rushed into the Cath Lab with badly clogged plumbing. After anesthesia, a trocar and wiring weaved up his femoral artery, all clear. False alarm. Heal up and go home.
This applies to too much of medicine for an advanced, 2026 society. But never fear, substantial money changed hands.
