Beware of Doctors Practicing Cookbook Medicine

I could say something humorous, but
this is serious and patients need to be aware of the problems some
key words cause. These key words will result in many unnecessary
tests and procedures. Cookbook medicine is very prevalent in medical
practice and even in most hospitals. Doctors follow lists and make
checkmarks for each item checked off.  Dr. Leana Wen writes an excellent blog on this.
