Doctors and patients should be more aware of the long term
risks of radiological investigations In some hospitals
patients are now more likely to get a total body scan than
a thorough history and careful physical examination. Modern
physicians are good at talking with complicated machines
but not always as good at listening to patients. In their
turn, patients often demand more examinations and feel
reassured by high tech ones. The economic drive of
expensive testing and doctors' legitimate concerns about
medicolegal action if they don't use the latest
investigations have done the rest. "
