They perform unnecessary tests. And they send the patients to the er to get testing done that could be done on an out patient basis. They make diagnosis for teens that are so ridiculous it would be laughable if it weren't health related. Mine was diagnosed with hemachromotosis a disorder that isn't found until a person is in their 50's! Came to the conclusion that my teen had tb because of an intermittant cough that started when the trees began to bloom...airborne allergies run in the family, but that was never brought up. Put on an antibiotic immediatly because of diagnosis of tb...tb test was negative....never asked patient about cough again. Refused to give reasons for all tests being run to mother of minor (17 year old) patient. other than the tb.
