I wonder to what extent this coincides with both malpractice pressures (in my experience, a misdiagnosis via the wrong assigned malady is much less problematic for juries than a non-diagnosis, or inaction), and the changing view of doctor as solution, rather than as an aid in management/prevention.

In short, are doctors themselves thinking they 'should' be diagnosing more, leading to overdiagnosis?
