Defensive medicine - who defends themselves from whom, and who is the loser

It is commonly believed that a doctor who orders a lot of tests is a good specialist. They are committed and they care about the patient’s health. One that refuses to refer a patient for examination is suspicious.

What it means in practice and what consequences it has - prof. Tomasz Pasierski from the Department of Medical Ethics and Palliative Medicine at WUM.
