That study is idiotic. It’s literally an embodiment of the joke: “You could have found it faster if you looked in the last place first”.
Standardized triage testing has been shown over and over to save many more lives than doctor intuition alone. Just because a test rules out a diagnosis doesn’t make it “unnecessary”.
I also didn’t see anything about costs of test - a cheap test that rules out even a small chance of something catastrophic can be a very good investment
