Who thinks that the medical profession overdoes it with all the tests and prescriptions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I do!: There is ample evidence that physicians overdo testing. I am more of a minimalist; i look for testing that delivers better value to the patient. Of course, almost no patient pays directly for any test, so many patients pressure their doctors to order more tests!
