May I paraphrase Ken and, therefore, simply repeat a succinct lesson that my
professors taught me 30 years ago?

NO paraclinical examination should ever be ordered unless there is a clear
indication as to what the person ordering the tests expects to learn, and
how that additional new knowledge, over and above the clinical
examination,will alter decision making and treatment.

cheers from the "old school"
