It’s possible, if you lived for a year or two in a 15-20m population city then moved on to a different massive population city in the you’d probably be pushing towards having walked past a few million people after a decade or so
80 million people would have to be a lifetime of it though

Reply to A blood test that screens for multiple cancers at once promises to boost early detection, but the healthcare system may not be ready for the results by globehater
Presumably the POV of this is in the sentence that states that testing for tumours that are benign implies that earlier testing will lead to maybes so specific testing will be ordered and therefore there’s more “traffic” in the system and x% of these will be benign and these people will prevent the rest of patients being seen as soon?

Reply to TIL Michael DeBakey, developed over many years the technique of replacing the damaged aorta with a tube made of polyethylene terephthalate. He himself suffered aortic dissection at the age of 97 and survived for two years thanks to the technique he developed himself. by Bobba_fat
I don’t think it’s that uncommon for people to use the medical treatments they develop. Anecdotally a family friend of mine ended up using a cancer treatment he helped develop decades earlier
