<span>What is defensive medicine?
</span>Defensive medicine is the situation in which a doctor practices medicine, either through diagnosis or treatment, not to help the patient, but rather to prevent legal action (a malpractice suit) if a problem occurs. The doctor goes beyond what is usually necessary for diagnosing and treating the patient so they can ensure they are not missing any unlikely but possible condition.
They may perform procedures that the patient wants or expects even if they aren't clinically necessary, to keep the patient satisfied. For these reasons, defensive medicine is said to lead to overtesting and overtreatment. They want to prevent bad outcomes (however unlikely) and to prevent having an angry patient.

The questions I ask myself are
1. Is it on wikipedia? Obviously if it is don't take the advice
2. Who is the source written by? A doctor or someone who just googled symptoms?
3. When was it written? Medicine is always changing so the data could be out of date.
4. Is it from a .net .com .org .edu? Some are more reliable than others. You wouldn't want to listen to a . com as much as a .org because organizations are better than a community.
5. Does it make sense? Can you go to a doctor and not sound silly?
