A lung CT can be done at about 1/5th the radiation dose of a chest CT. The future will decide if we took the correct risk with extremely limited testing in the early stages.
In my experience, “not my job” , “too much risk”, and “need more data to make a decision“ is the default attitude in the medical profession. People choose that career because it is safe, and very few doctors have military experience these days. That being said, people adjust to a new reality very quickly.
