CT of the leg

So the ER doc notifies me that she ordered a CT scan of some lady's leg, just in case it's broken.

"Well, did you do an xray first?"

"No. I figured I'd go straight to CT."

"Why?"

"I just felt better about getting a CT."

"Will the patient feel better with the bigger, unnecessary bill?"

People come on! How much of this nonsense can our system take before our system goes bankrupt?
