[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 561249, member: 1514"] Doctors are overdoing testing now. Especially if they have patients with medicare or medicaid because they know they will pay for the tests even if they dont pay much. They will just send dozens and dozens of patients through needless tests and procedures. I have had more CT scans than I have ever needed. This idiotic pain clinic sent me to get a CT scan on my back and when it came back saying that the image could not detect what I was sent to have detected, the doctor told me that they knew it would come back that way because the CT scan wouldnt show bone issues only soft tissue and stuff like that. So in essence they sent me for a test they knew wouldnt do me any good! And CT scans expose you to a ton of radiation. [/QUOTE]
