Love the appy question: I've almost got my E.R. and primary care crew to understand my appy preferences. Only women of child-bearing age get a CT if the question is appendicitis. If the lab and history of anyone else looks like appendicitis, they don't need a CT...they need me to come push on their belly.
I'm not a fan of kids getting radiation unless something is goofy. I've found that I am old fashioned and most of the surgeons want a CT every single time. So Bert, your patient population would never get a CT from me until I actually touched the patient...heaven forbid.
No Wal-Mart clinics yet, even in the land of Wal-Mart.
