Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer Shannon Brownlee See book keywords and concepts

In 2004, John and Robyn sprague, of La Plata, Maryland, won a five-million-dollar judgment against their pediatrician and two doctors at a local hospital because they failed to order a head CT for the Spragues' infant son. In 1998, the Spragues brought their eleven-month-old son to the emergency room because his babysitter reported he had fallen backward from his high chair and hit his head. When the baby appeared perfectly normal neurologically without so much as a bump on his head, the emergency physician and an on-call pediatrician agreed there was no reason to perform a head CT.

As one physician blogger responded to the sprague case, "What is the moral of the story? Order an expensive test and save yourself the trouble." The other reason physicians commonly offer for ordering so many unnecessary imaging tests is that patients demand them. Patients with back pain ask for MRIs because a friend got one, or because they read about MRIs in a story about a new surgical technique for back pain, or because a radiology clinic was advertising MRIs.

In past decades, economic contractions, industry changes, incompetence, and, most important, greed, notes Irvine sprague, former chair and director of the FDIC, have forced many lenders to shut their doors. Two years after the 1991 recession ended, more than a hundred banks failed, according to Roger Ferguson, former vice chair of the Federal Reserve, while in the last three years of the 1980s, more than 200 such institutions on average went bust every year, not including the large number of S&Ls that also shut down.

In Bailout: An Insider's Account of Bank Failures and Rescues, Irvine sprague notes that "[o]n occasion, the failure of a bank comes with lightning speed. In cases of fraud or runs, the failure can be dramatically fast." Continental Illinois, a bank that went belly-up in 1984, "succumbed in days," according to the former industry insider, because of overly aggressive lending practices and a dependence on short-term borrowing and large, uninsured deposits to meet its funding needs.

Homalomena belgraveana sprague) were ingested together with the bark of Galbulimima belgraveana (F. Muell.) Sprague332 [syn. Himantandra belgraveana F. Muell.] and the root of Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Sm. [syn. Alpinia speciosa] (see Zingiber officinale). This allegedly produced strong visions followed by intense dreams (Barrau 1958). Since this plant is known locally as maraba, the same name given to Kaempferia galanga and Galbulimima, the botanical identity of this purported hallucinogen is still in question. Chemical studies are lacking (Schultes and Hofmann 1995,45*).
