... back to the article, I recall hearing (reliable source - academic seminar) of studies that show more than half of GPs (General Practitioners, your regular first doctor) do not understand the statistics behind false positives, which leads to a lot of grief for patients and sometimes inappropriate treatments. The article above explains it in a paragraph.

A similar survey found that nine out of every ten doctors think one out of every ten doctors is an idiot. :D

Most likely a higher number than 1 out of 10.:)

It is a business you know.
