Says Ben Bronstein, communications director of the Hospital Association of Pennsylvania: the Hospital Association of Pennsylvania: "Doctors are going to have to bite the bullet and ask themselves if they really need all those tests." Physicians who routinely order nose-to-toes X rays or prescribe the latest and most costly antibiotic may be taken to task by department heads. Those who refuse to repent, warns A.H.A. President McMahon, may eventually lose their...
