At time Doctors recommend tests (MRI) for the heck of it.
MRI is much better it provide better visualization inside of with sharp contrast, help to see the current image of muscles, organs, even soft tissues. It is one of the greatest thing that technology ever gifted medical science. It not helps doctor but also help you that you get perfect treatment.
I know what an MRI/PET/CT scan is. I worked for the Diagnostic imaging industry for a number of years. I just feel, at times it is not needed. Like a cold, and some nasal blockage.
Guys one point as i said earlier
Why do the BL****DY IT(Income-tax) people target only the doctors that work hard?As i said i know few doctors whose offices were raided.They Work day and night.There clinics are always full.The only free time they get is some sundays.
They surely make the money with their own sweat no bribes no commission.Why did the IT Have to raid them? Did some doctor out of jealousy bribe them?
Anyhow the IT Raid made no difference all patients still go to him
But guys Amir does have a point
You have a simple fever.Doctor knows it,he will suggest you 100's of tests.
One thing Fidel Castro has done good.
Healthcare in Cuba
Highest doctor to patient ratio. May be because education is free at every level.
They check it for sinus disease. See you should trust your doctor, this factor also comes in treatment (psychologically). This cause is also for that Aamir puts some crack between doctor and patient relationship, he doesn't know that.
If you think its not needed, confirm it from other doctors too.
He is not putting a crack in between. It is trust which they take advantage of. Specially regarding DI. To circumvent this, people incur more expenses and get 2nd opinions.

Yea! Trust is utmost important. I understand this. You cannot hand over yourself or to a relative of yours in the hands of a doctor to OPERATE on you or your dear ones.
We TRUST the doctor, hence we go inside an operation theater.
But this TRUST fails sometimes which doctors take unwanted advantage of us and tell us for Lab Test which are unnecessary.
I urge you to go to some govt. hospitals, or even to Laboratories to get the real picture of malpractices. You should have some relative doctor of a hospital, who can give you the real picture.
Theoretically every thing seems to be nice, but practically, things aren't nice. Check for yourself.
That's the problem the way show was presented was wrong, that represented as the whole profession badly just because of some greedy persons, who are punishable. I'm not alone, this cause is supported by thousands of people.
Now, whenever you visit next time to an honest doctor you will definitely see him as suspiciously, even though he send you for some tests and all you take it as that he is taking advantage of you, like you mentioned before. Do you ever ever heard of phrase "Trust Me I'm a Doctor."? I don't think you from any medical profession, coz you can not understand that trust is also a part of healing.
INDIAN DOCTOR an example:
My daughter (3yrs) was suffering from toothache. Consulted a Dentist(famous in his area). After giving 3 to 4 sitting when i asked when can she get rid of it, to my utter surprise he answered it cannot be cured and I have to come to his chamber as long as he will ask to come.
From the very next day i change the doc and give some clove oil which cures her completely.
television is merely giving the issue a treatment, instead of looking for a cure, something you would normally accuse the doctors of doing
it ends up giving the totally wrong message. finding out the gender of an unborn child is not wrong, aborting unborn children based on their gender is.
that TV show should be banned.
