High technology methods do not a complete diagnosis make. In our hunt for more and better I think we get caught up in the high technology and somehow favor it over other diagnostic tools. Fancier machinery will never replace good old physician instinct/sense. Its wonderful to be able to look inside the living body and take pictures, but there is still an awful lot that is unknown in there - no matter how good the pictures are.

I want docs from different disciplines to reach the same conclusion about images of my insides. There is way too much at stake - for me and for them. With all the lawyers that are out loose in the country, everyone needs to cover their tail. Malpractice is still a major practice expense for most of our docs. With corporate insurance interests, and liability insurance intests at stake, it can be tough to know who to listen to. While always looking for progress, I will stay with the docs that helped pull me through the first time. Tom
