> I don't see why any doctor should be concerned about how much money tests will cost or if they are a waste of money...I mean, it's your money not theirs. They should be concerned about your health. And if you want to spend money on tests, it's none of their business to be directing your financial affairs. That's how I see it anyway. So you go and spend $500 for a bunch of tests, they all turn out normal, and your doc says you wasted your money. No you didn't. You have peace of mind knowing that whatever you were suspect of is ok. Besides, it's your money not his.
>It depends what type of insurance you have, if any. Some HMO's and managed care companies will actually pay doctors bonuses if they don't order expensive tests and procedures! Cecilia
