It is amazing to me that doctors would actually admit to insurance fraud.  In fact, if you a study or survey indicating that XX % of doctors read regularly defensive medicine is practice, what they really say "Yes, I was regularly commit by ordering excessive tests and procedures."

A study was published in the June 28th issue of archives of internal medicine that showed "91% of physician practice defensive medicine."  In reality, this was a survey of 2,416 doctors asked are whether it with a few instructions match.  This figure "91 %" was not on medical records or some other specific fact based; It has been calculated based on doctors reviews.

In March 2010, Medscape.com an article, physicians are talking about published: the culture of defensive medicine.  They contain information from an all physician discussion group, that the question - asked had "do defensive medicine practice?"

A neurologist said, "here in the Southern Michigan, home to the (well-known) misconduct by lawyers, we defensive medicine every day with every patient practice."

A radiologist, was quoted in the article words: "defensive medicine is practiced everywhere, everyday." "And the costs have to be to simply enormous."

There are many attempts to prove defensive medicine with the visit and general comments. However I must that based show to read something on medical records, that tests, justified by the medical conditions were not, were ordered.  If the medical community is defensive medicine is going to say is, why offer to prove them to their medical history?
