@lenmayo If your post refers to my posts re: nuclear stress testing:
Yes, you are right.
Professional, ethical and upstanding physicians do not order any unnecessary medical tests when a patient is asymptomatic. Ever.
However, my husband was experiencing upper chest pains and has an aortic aneurysm.
He was long over due for cardiac testing and was symptomatic.
It was not his or my decision for him to have a cardiac workup - although I certainly thought it was called for and medically necessary, as he did also, to rule out any cardiac abnormalities and evaluate if his aneurysm was enlarging to a dangerous and possibly fatal size.
Our cardiologist is highly rated, at a highly rated cardiovascular center.
It was entirely his call to order such testing.
In his medical opinion, he felt it was necessary - it was not an unethical call in anyway, shape or form.
Not sure if you are referring to my previous postings or you simply wish to post an obvious statement. If the former, I hope I cleared this up for you.
