Regarding your point about over testing and treatment, this spring I met a British trained doctor on some sort of exchange. He pointed out that there is something like a 1 in 1000 chance of incurring leukemia from either a CAT scan or an MRI. From there he wondered when in our famously litigious society someone who had gotten leukemia following a one of those tests might sue their doctor for authorizing the test unnecessarily.vhlivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014847502010321186noreply@blogger.com
