    Re: Unnecessary surgeries

    How many Americans die from CT scans that doctors own that "could you some more business" ?

    1/3 of CT scans done in the US is unwarranted.

    CT scans may cause up to 2% of cancers themselves.

    Funny how this was a private OR suite that "needed business".

    Of course, that doesn't happen here.

    :)
