Created by health and beauty tourism influencer Bryn Elise, the eye-catching video which has been viewed nearly 12million times, sees her undergo a 'VIP checkup' at the Memorial Hospital in Istanbul. However, doctors on social media immediately cautioned about potential risks.
They warned about the risk of 'false positives' from such tests that can lead to people needlessly undergoing risky, invasive follow-ups and operations. In the clip Ms Elise is seen being led around the 'fancy' private hospital and undergoing a raft of checks including a blood analysis, electrocardiogram — a type of heart test — blood pressure, chest x-ray, abdominal and thyroid ultrasounds and a bone density scan. @bryn.
