The Practice of Medicine

Last post I outlined the reasons I thought getting a CT scan was a reasonable action. Turns out it was pretty much a waste of time and resources, plus an unnecessary dose of radiation. The original MRI result showed what the radiologist read as a venous malformation. The CT scan showed conclusively that that reading was false. What was read as a venous malformation is really a genetic abnormality in my bone structure. That's why it is called the practice of medicine.
