I agree.
I see patients for sprained ankles and they come to me "Well, the doctor wants an X-Ray and MRI, just to make sure.", doctors do this for 2 reasons. 1) Yes, it is a easy to make money (especially if it already on campus) 2) They do it to cover their butt against malpractice.
That's a great example.
The malpractice thing could be fixed with the appropriate legislation - it would be difficult but would make a huge amount of difference to the cost of thecare.
