37. How would you know whether you had a communicable disease

Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 05:45 PM by depakid

if you didn't have check-ups and screenings?

Lots of nasty diseases are subclinical. Hep C, TB and HIV come to mind.

So it's more than just a cost containment thing- and more than just relegating a stubborn old geezer to vascular dementia or amputation(s) because they weren't aware or didn't treat their diabetes.
