Why Doctors Are Ordering Too Many CT Scans and MRIs
That is the most bizarre reasoning ever. I would rather be "over-tested" or get a false positive, follow up and find out it's nothing than question the need for the tests and rely on doctor's "educated guess." I'm not a news buff, but I have yet to hear of someone dying from unnecessary MRI scan.To the contrary, there are millions of cases where forgoing the testing lead directly to the neatest graveyard.
