From the article:
"We talk about the current healthcare crisis, the wasted dollars in
medicine, the rising cost of healthcare and yet there is no real
increase in the quality of the care provided. Defensive medicine is a
key to this waste of money in the healthcare system. Cutting
reimbursement of physicians, recruiting mid-level personnel or
switching to generic medications is like treating cancer with Tylenol.
Even though defensive medicine is discussed, I do not think anyone
outside medicine understands it at all."
