Agree with your post and the the good doctors post. Unfortunatley dueto the legal system and the law suits, doctors have to order tests. I am an RN in a large Cardiology office up north.

Know this, you also have the right to refuse a test. I am glad that nothing was wrong with you but most Americans do have build up in their arteries due to our lifestyle and diet and with other factors like smoking, family history, etc it is warranted to check it out.

I would call the billing dept. at the office so they would explain the billing that was done.
