This is a very important issue. Doctors are over prescribing and jumping to unneeded surgeries. The question is, are they doing it out of fear of a malpractice lawsuit for denying a patient what they need or is it from kickbacks, incentives and the knowledge that the persons insurance will pay them? Just because something works doesn't mean it's not a broken system. Suprised that no one else has commented on this article.
