Treat the Patient, Not the CT Scan

Great article from a professor at the Stanford School of Medicine. I have had many patients who while in severe pain were told by some doctor that nothing was wrong with them because their x-ray or MRI was negative! I know they were taught about functional disorders in school as these types of disorders occur in most of the body systems. This is similar to telling someone with symptoms from a heart arrythmia that nothing is wrong with them because the heart echocardiogram does not show any abnormalities of the heart structures.
