• Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy criticizes Musk's advice as "absurd" and a "recipe for unnecessary processes and excessive testing."
• Annual MRIs can detect minor, often benign, issues (cysts, disc bulges) leading to unwarranted follow-ups and procedures.
• Excessive scanning causes psychological fear, anxiety, mental stress, and increased medical expenses.
• Doctors typically diagnose based on symptoms, making routine scans for healthy individuals potentially counterproductive.
