re: #18 jaunte

Insurance Reform Watch links to this article about cost-saving measures that can be taken immediately. If there are any doctors on the thread, I’m curious about your take on reducing some of the testing mentioned in the list below.

There’s no doubt that many many tests are currently performed on patients with no rational reason for it — except that malpractice insurance demands it. A whole lot of money and time is wasted on these unnecessary tests for no other reason than to make sure a doctor won’t be sued for malpractice.
