I get your point, although it was a bit extreme.
Litigation has obviously put medicine on defense requiring the battery of tests you described.
I’m probably oversensitive. My wife works as an RN...every night she sees patients getting admitted for 3-5 days and a large battery of tests, all paid for by the Arizona taxpayer.
Stomach ache? Paid for by Arizona? Expect 5 days in the hospital, exploratory surgery, multiple tests - all to ensure the patient gets proper care, of course.
Patients with private insurance don’t get approved for that sort of thing.
