Question

decision making

In medicine, however, it is standard practice for physicians to order extensive batteries of tests for patients. Although different kinds of patients may be subjected to different overall sets of tests, it is nevertheless the case that many of these tests provide information that is worthless in a decision- analysis sense; the doctor’s prescription would be the same regardless of the outcome of a particular test.

Questions

1. As a patient, would you be willing to pay for such tests? Why or why not?
2. What incentives do you think the doctor might have for ordering such tests, assuming he realizes that his prescription would not change?
3. How do his incentives compare to yours?
