Imaging self-referral: An inside manifesto
My name is Bill W. Like the fellow in the AA meetings. I'm a radiologist, and I'm addicted to imaging self-referral. Maybe you know something about this, maybe you participate too, and maybe you don't care. But you should. For your wake-up call, I think it's time to share an inside view of a very ugly issue.
