Choosing Wisely Part 2

Oops! . . . I did it again

Britney Spears

If you hadn't already heard, one of the worst kept secrets in Las Vegas entertainment history was revealed 10 days ago when Britney Spears confirmed/announced that she would hold her own residency at Planet Hollywood for the next 2 years and join the likes of Celine Dion, Elton John, Garth Brooks & Shania Twain.  I'm not a big fan of hers but the above phrase in one of her hits came to mind when the American Academy of Family Physicians announced earlier this week its 3rd list of tests & procedures that patients & physicians alike should question.  This brings a total of 15 items to (re)consider as promulgated by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign, first announced in April 2012.  I won't attempt to paraphrase the most recent 5, nor rehash the first 10, as you can review them in context here.  Just be sure to read them now before going to see your family physician.
