Good evening my beautiful hive family trust we are doing great👍.
I must give kudos to the admin for this week's topic.
A Compulsory Health Check honestly how many of us do go for medical check up regularly?
Could be few of us, could be 5% of the general masses.
Some won't go cause of fear of needles some because of fear of what will be diagnosed and found in their system.
Running a sickle cell organisation I can share a little of my experience with the elderly checking their glucose levels and BP at our various out reaches and when we do ask them to come check the first question they ask is if it's free .
Fear of paying for the service is also another challenge individuals face.
Picture from one of our free community medical out reach
Another free community medical out reach
We have seen cases where we had to refer the individual to the hospital for further treatment or to see their doctor.
The thing is regular health check isn't a life style for many. Some consider it a luxury and that it's just for the rich and not even for the average man.
Another challenge again with this is meeting the right medical personnel to attend to you while going for the check up some medical personnel can be down to earth and make you feel at home comfortable around the hospital and then some can be rude and uncaring and not even mind if you are scared of the test you are there to run.
Should going for ones medical check up be made compulsory or should everyone plan to at least go to the hospital ones in 3 months which is quarterly check up or
Annually or half yearly. What are the chances that some amount of illness won't be found and therefore cause you to be admitted in a scale of 1-10 I will say 1 or none.
Let me site another experience using myself.
Towards the end of 2024 I noticed I was losing weight drastically and I didn't look well. I needed to know what was wrong with me .
Why the weight loss what was I doing wrong and what did I need to do to stop it.
I went and had 53 different test done to check my liver kidney and every organ in my body.
Finding came back with a low level of blood nothing more and I know that's the challenge and am facing it squarely.
We know as well the economy situation may not allow many of us try this quarterly half-yearly or Annually check up but you owe it to yourself to live healthy lives.
My take compulsory or not check your glucose levels regularly
Check your BP regularly especially if you feel heavy in your head or moving around.
Do general check up Annually to kown the condition of your entire system.
Again until we realise that when one is healthy that person is wealthy we will not take going for regular medical check seriously.
This topic can't be over emphasize we can only try to educate people about taking their health care seriously.
