How does this square with your suggestion that doctors need to give lots of tests to protect themselves?
What do you mean how does it square? What is his definition of unnecessary? What is his definition of better doctors? Did they come from better medical schools? Did they have excellent patient records? Does he pay them more? My wife has walked in to see a patient and the patient, or someone with them flips open a notebook and starts writing things down. When my wife askes what they are writing she has been known to get answers such as "This is just in case we decide to sue you later". Again, define unnecessary.
