Does the practice of defensive medicine cause patient exhaustion in finding a diagnosis?
Defensive medicine involves excessive testing, in part, to protect the physician from being sued by patients. Since there are more tests being performed than what is necessary to make a diagnosis, patients become exhausted both mentally/spiritually as well as financially in their journey to find a proper diagnosis. Often what happens is patients do not get a diagnosis from the first physician they see, so they go to another, and another...and some docs see that behavior as potentially legally threatening. It is best to be referred to a specialist by your regular doctor or by an Emergency clinic. American society is becoming more and more litigious every day....Defensive Medicine protects the doctor and sometimes results in a diagnosis for the patient...mostly it rules out diagnoses.
