Question

Why did the doctor deliberately delay his treatment?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

He's a pretty nice guy, so I asked him: "Why don't doctors conduct physical exams of their patients anymore?" His answer: "We have precise pictures of everything inside you, so we don't need to." Technology only partly explains why touching patients seems to be going the way of the buggy whip. There are time pressures.

Answer 2

Answer:

Any healthcare provider --a doctor, dentist OB/GYN, etc. -- can be sued for delaying treatment or diagnosis of an injury or illness, but proving your case may be difficult.
