learning to say NO NO NO

This is just a great article that addresses one of our increasing concerns – inappropriate care and over use.  I am much more suspicious than the journalists.  I love the way doctors say they over prescribe because they are afraid of being sued.  far more to the point we should ask if they have a financial interest in overprescribing or is it simply easier than taking the time to tell a patient why it has no added health benefit and might even be harmful.
