Laws of the Dinosaur
First Law:
The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature takes its course.Second Law:
It is impossible to make an asymptomatic patient feel better.Third Law:
The urgency of the test is inversely proportional to the IQ of the insurance company preauthorization clerk.
Anyone have more to add? (And no fair snarfing from House of God, which I know by heart.)

I'm just offering that one as something like it seems to come up every time that a doctor writes about universal screening programmes.
