Unfortunately I will probably not take the time to help you find a source, but FWIW this was taught to me several times in medical school and is generally believed to be true by myself and many colleagues. It is one huge reason I work as a federal employee -- FTCA helps me feel free to do what I think is right for my patient without worrying nearly as much about getting sued. In my line of work, a tremendous amount of absurd testing is done because there could be a 0.01% chance of missing something serious, and if you see 1,000 pts per year and plan to have a multi-decade career, it's easy to justify almost certainly unnecessary testing.
