Models of Medical Risk / Misadventure

The references shown below are for work done some time ago, but are relevant
to your query in that defensive medicine is an overreaction to medical risk
and an unintended consequence of dealing with it. Hopefully, the documents
are still available from MIT. Jim Potchen, one of the authors, is on the
faculty of Michigan State Universitys College of Medicine if contacting him
would help you get more information.
