Agreed. I suspect my SIL will be getting fewer mammograms anyway. My cardiologist used to send me for a stress test every year, then every other year, now it's every 5 years. Doc told me it was because of this “new science” that suggested so many stress tests are unnecessary. It's not the “new science.” It's Obamacare. They will use any study to support reductions in health care.

Actually, your doctor is correct. Stress tests aren’t that useful and are often dangerous. So much of what is done is CYA medicine and not in the best interests of patients.
