Oh for sure, my comment is more towards people that won't accept the diagnosis of everything is fine and no further testing is needed. Those people tend to yell, sue, go find some other doc, try chi blocking and crystals before they will talk to a therapist about their anxiety.

My comment about incidentaloma is more when you find something that wasn't causing any true issue. Now what. You have to get another scan. But before that, there was no indication that anything was wrong because nothing was wrong. Now you're stuck working and monitoring something that ends up being benign and would have been that way if you never look.

Same with any tests, there's a rate of false positive to be aware of. When your suspicion is high, it outweighs it, but when it's low and the test comes back positive, your stuck now and are often obligated to do unecessary work to prove that it was a false positive.
