        @Atul_Gawande @nytimes One reason for CT overuse isn't mentioned: defensive medicine. Reform med-mal, and all unnecessary tests will drop.

        .@Pathophilia @nytimes Doesn't appear true. Med-mal reform in TX dropped lawsuits massively. But TX remains a Medicare imaging outlier.

        @Atul_Gawande @nytimes wouldn't it be tragic if a life saving CT scan went unperformed because of alarmist misinformation like this?

        @DrGMcGinty @Atul_Gawande @nytimes That's why the ordering doc needs to have a full discussion with the pt rather than just order the test.

        @Atul_Gawande @VarunSaxena2 because of pervasive cognitive bias in patients, the "personalized" medicine movement can make this worse
