<p>“Just to demonstrate how each profession has its own little scam, they run a strep-throat test on every child-- “Just to be safe”–”</p>
<p>We only have to do that because you lawyers got involved 
haha</p>
<p>This is waaayyy off topic, but this is an example of what physicians are required to do to protect themselves from lawsuits these days. If they were to not run that test, and they missed the one patient who did have Strep throat it could be the end of their career’s if taken to court. “Defensive Medicine” is the newest term. I feel your frustration on being told there’s really nothing to do. Imagine being on my side and having to tell someone that is coming to you for relief “well, there’s nothing I can give you.” Not the best feeling, especially when it’s a screaming two year-old with an ear-ache. Oh my, those parents are not happy campers. haha. Okay, I digress, back to the original programming.</p>
