[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:56- One of the biggest reasons doctors order expensive tests is because of the high risk of a lawsuit. You had the MRI to cover the Neurologist's butt in the small chance you had something more serious causing your headaches. I work in the Emergency Department and I order expensive tests all the time and admit people all the time... even when I am 99% sure there is nothing seriously wrong with the patient. It's crazy how much radiation people are exposed to. That's the climate we live in. I realize it's a waste of money. And I don't make more money based on how many tests I order.... gosh, it would be great if I did. [/quote]The data does not bear this out. In states with strict liability caps it did not reduce cost or rates of procedures ordered. [/quote]
