I want people to get the scans they need, but 80% double scanning seems too high. If medically necessary - then fine with me. A local hospital had a Cesarian birth rate several times higher than the average because it was performing them on women receiving Medi-cal at excessive levels(whatever the public assistance name is given to the program for impoverished women). When it was exposed, along with other treatment extremes, the hospital came under review and eventually changed hands. But Cesarian’s are still given at the new hospital - but now only when advisable.
It’s true and it is happening all the time. I Happened to go down to the place where they scanned my dad. less than 24 hours latter I was in the Hospital and the nurse told me my dad was going down for another scan.
FOR WHAT I asked. No he is NOT going down I told them I said get the doctor on the phone I will tell him MYSELF!
Nobody fought me. Later another friend of mine ( IS IT just me or are most of these people they take MULTIPLE Cat scans on SENIOR CITIZENS who usually do not speak up for themselves!)
My senior citizen friend recieved 7 cat scans in less than a week.
DISGUSTING! FOLKS BEWARE WHEN YOU GO INTO THE HOSPITAL.
If you speak up they give you a stupid look like they are saying “ WHAT DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR!”
