Ooh Mom I want that for Christmas

Who gets to Decide what you want?
I chose this article because I thought it was very interesting that someone deemed this blog worthy. I thought it was one of those ephinanies that everyone has at some point. More commonly when they have kids lol. The following line
"Patients are taught what to want by doctors who prescribe new tests. And doctors are taught to do that by lawyers eager to sue if they don't. Imagine going home and saying, "the doctor wanted to give me another test, but I said no..."
As someone that aspires to be a lawyer I felt this post was particularly interesting simply because it gives a cynical yet very actual of representation of the relationships between two very prominent professions. It also touches on something which has been engrained in our culture that most don't even think about the idea that lawsuits play a heavy part in our medical industries.
