Health Care Cost - CAT SCANS - Your Daughter
Skip To Time Frame: 25:30 -- after listening to the NPR promo.
Doctor explains to parent why a test is unnecessary and maybe harmful, but only after parent say's "Im a lawyer" and demands 'we' do a cat scan.
Do you think you know the reasoning or teh arguments made?
Do you think you abuse the health care system and contribute to the costs -- one third of all costs/tests/dollars(?) are unnecessary?
