		<description><![CDATA[Tweet So on the heels of the post from two days ago entitled &#8220;stupid crap&#8221;, comes this follow-up. Insurance companies are always accused by physicians of denying necessary procedures and care. Now related to the post from before one could argue that a lot of these tests should not be approved since so much stuff [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet So, I without really realizing it have become a crusader against stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary medical testing. I see it every day and I can&#8217;t help it. It just drives me nuts. So much of what we do as physicians is completely worthless or at least excessive. One can argue about defensive medicine &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet Most ER docs have a standard series of general knowledge/awareness questions we ask patients with altered mental status. Most doctors ask &#8220;Who is the president of United States?&#8221; as one of the questions. I&#8217;ve completely stopped asking that question now.
