Doctor's prescriptions

I believe there are laws protecting the patient's interest, and the legal aspect of medical treatment. The bond signed by a patient before an operation has to be officially approved, for legal implications. Sometimes these prescriptions have to be shown to other doctors for second opinion. Patients with long sickness have to maintain files of history of the treatment. There is no standard format.

Similarly, the standard forms of test reports from the diagnostic medical centres/clinics have to be scrutinised and approved by the authorities. Many patients suspect that these days too many tests (some expensive) are prescribed [a sort of fashion like going abroad for treatment].

How to curb such tendencies? There is no official or independent referral centre for complaints at all district headquarters or for further information.

Public awareness on these daily routines has to be properly publicised, for obvious reasons. Can the citizens know what is the official reaction to such misgivings?
