[quote=Anonymous]Interesting article on how we often get prescribed too many drugs, and end up being overscreened for everything. I work in a healthcare office and see this all the time. Patients come in demanding antibiotics, even though most things will just resolve on their own. And, the doctors often feel the need to give in so the patients are satisfied. When my own DD went to the ER, they ran all sorts of unnecessary tests (CT scan, etc) that I found out later were unnecessary, and definitely overkill (from our regular doc). http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/03/dying-for-satisfaction-being-happy-with-your-doctor-is-bad-for-your-health.html[/quote]
