Why Doctors Order Too Many Tests (It's Not Just to Avoid Lawsuits)

" But real reform is unlikely to happen unless doctors' groups, supported by

patients' groups interested in better medical care, band together with a

common voice. Until then, the next time your doctor wants to order a test,

ask why. The odds are that it will be the right decision, but just by asking

you may be able to steer clear of a test or two and the potential downsides

of overtesting. " "

All the best,
