Wow its genius! You could do a half-way physical exam, maybe you wouldn't have to see the patient ( 😛 ). You could then order all the non-indicated studies you wanted on that patient, then read them all yourself! You could make yourself rich!
If only you could get around the self-referral laws. In the end how could you not end up hating yourself?!? 😀
[Humor me, I just got off call and I swear ER loves me!]
