There is no stats to what you are speaking. General People not being able to get to doctor in months is a bigger problem than a rare false negative.

This also reduces burden on doctors. If the only thing your doctor does is prescribe antibiotics and orders scans. Why not do it yourself and get treated early.

You can absolutely walk in an have an MRI made at any time.

It's just not paid for by your health insurance.

Apologies, I mixed up my terms, I meant false positive.

And no, you are wrong, overtreatment is a huge problem.
