When a doctor recommends a test or procedure, how do you know that he/she is not just trying to protect against a possible malpractice lawsuit? Also, I don't think that some doctors fully understand the harm to the patient caused by worry and anxiety regarding medical tests and procedures. I think the patient needs to use some judgement when deciding what recommendations to follow.
