Now secondly, you ask what amount of liability a doctor has for making a diagnosis using a less than accurate test. The test could be given but it would just confuse the patient and be a waste of time and money because it would have to be following by the most accurate test available. If the doctor did not give the more accurate test, he would be insane.

HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW WITH THE PSA TEST???

Dr's KNOW the PSA is only 50-60% accurate (so 50% chance they are WRONG!)....but people still take the test and there is no liability. The Dr. gives the test and tells you what the false + and - percents are. That's it. IT's up to the patient to then choose.
