Have you been medically over-tested? I'd like to know your story.

I'm not sure if you've heard of this recent story , but I found it very interesting.

I've never experienced this, but I've heard of people who are often over-tested when they go into hospitals. So many X-rays, cat scans, etc.

Well, according to this Huffington Post article, the American College of Physicians is working to have set guidelines to prevent over-testing, which can result in frustrated patients ... but more it's a money issue.

Do you know someone who has experienced this? I'm slowly working on uncovering what this looks like in our area, and I would love to hear your story. Please call me at 361-580-6504 or email me at jrortega@vicad.com.

Look forward to hearing from you!
