Abstract
A great many medical diagnostic tests have been developed to supplement the patient information obtained from history and physical examination. These tests vary greatly in amount of discomfort to the patient, complexity, and cost. It is obvious that diagnostic tests should be kept to a minimum. Logical consideration to help determine the minimum additional medical tests needed in a specific case will be discussed.
