In India, doctors are mostly eager to perform surgery upon you. In a case where the symptoms clearly indicated Carpal Tunnel Syndrome [0], the doctor insisted upon a CT scan to be followed by surgery claiming it to be muscle atrophy [1]. (This is from personal experience. A couple of months later, a reputed doctor from one of the best medical institutes in the country confirmed that it was CTS and no surgery was required.) I've heard of multiple cases where they continued to keep a (dead) patient in ICU so that they could continue to keep billing.
