I thought medical errors were the third leading cause of death in the U.S. with 10% of all deaths attributed to medical error.
With that error rate, is it fair to say that the extra tests are truly "unnecessary?"

That's a severe distortion of the reality. Most of those "errors" are not a healthy patient dies, but cases where the patient was dying, the only question being exactly when.
