I never stopped anybody from eating at restaurant as long as they can pay for themselves even though they should be cooking at home to save money.

However if they are susidized, then mri needs to have a valid indication.
You see doctors see things in moral black or white. "Lousy GP". "GP only where is specialist"?

Follow guidelines or else you are lousy dr.

In fact medical school trains drs this way. Follow guidelines. Order tests only when guidelines say there is a need. Save money and resources.

It is all good in a world of paternalistic medicine. But this is no longer the case especially in pte sector.
