All materials clearly emphasize that memry screenings are used as an indicatr f whether a persn might benefit frm an extensive medical exam, but that they are nt used t diagnse any illness and in n way replace an exam by a primary care physician r specialist. We encurage medical fllw-up, at the very least during annual dctr s visits, t ensure best mnitring f memry and health cncerns. 3
