When do you not ignore?

I’ve found that doctors will be happy to send me/my partner for expensive tests ‘just in case’. To me, these aren’t things to worry about, but to my partner, it means he has the *worst possible outcome* whatever that is.

Ex, a simple planters wart. Dr removes, says they are 99% sure it’s a wart but just in case, let’s send for a biopsy. To my partner this equals ‘the doctor is concerned, they ordered a biopsy and it is probably cancer!’

Now take this example and repeat it over and over. [/quote]

I can top this. Acquaintance got treated for rabies because the “dogs running around” in the developing country he visited “looked bad.”  He hadn’t even touched one, let alone received a bite. He has a concierge doctor who humors this stuff from him. [/quote]

Ok that’s hilarious. And yes, there are many plenty of doctors who will run plenty of tests or treat things that don’t need treatment [/quote]
