[QUOTE="blackribbon, post: 69043286, member: 298417"] Sorry. I am a medical professional and no, it isn't splitting hairs. They are different phases of care...with the ideal ALWAYS being prevention....real prevention. And sadly, no, a positive diagnoses does not mean a person goes and gets treatment, especially if they don't have any obvious symptoms. A person is much more likely to get treatment if they are treated by the same doctor/organization that diagnosed them than if they have to start over with just a referral. To assume that people who don't care enough about their health to avoid risky behaviors and avoid being exposed will suddenly become the perfect compliant patient isn't a safe assumption at all. And after diagnosis, treatment is about containment, not prevention. [/QUOTE]
