A study found that the radiation from CT scans—the tests regularly used to 1 internal injuries

or signs of cancer—is likely 2 for 2 percent of cancer cases in the United States.

3 lots of Americans undergo CT scans, that research is unlikely to 4 in doctors" offices:

Two-thirds of patients in a new JAMA study reported 5 nothing of the risks of the diagnostic

procedure. 6 , 17 percent felt like they played an active role in a discussion 7 , whether this

diagnostic test was the best path forward.

"Our study indicates that most decisions to undergo outpatient CT are 8 by physicians and

**munication is 9 ," a team of researchers led by University of Colorado"s Tanner Caverly

writes. "The **munication that took place had limited 10 : respondents who recalled

discussing the benefits and risks of imaging did not have better 11 ."

Would a conversation about the 12 risks have made a difference? Caverly"s team asked a few

other questions 13 suggest it would: Patients undergoing the scan have little idea about the

radiation 14 . One-quarter self-identified radiation as a risk of a CT scan; 37 percent were able

to identify CT scans as having a higher level of radiation 15 a chest x-ray.

There"s a growing movement in medicine right now to 16 on unnecessary treatment or 17

of care. Much of this has been led by a group called Choosing Wisely, which has 18 with

dozens of medical societies to come up with lists of 19 that doctors themselves don"t think

they ought to be using.

One of their key messages is that more care isn"t necessarily better; all **es with some level of

risk. That message does not, 20 , seem to be delivered in the doctor"s offices studied here.

The difference between "writer" and "reporter" or "journalist" isn"t that the journalist reports—she

41 sources, calls people, takes them out to lunch, and 42 acts as an intermediary between her

audience and the world of experts. The journalist also writes, of course, but anybody can write.

43 few can get their calls returned by key congressmen, top academics, important CEOs. That is

the powerful advantage that the journalist has 44 her audience: She"s got sources and they

don"t.

45 the transaction between the journalist and the audience is that the journalist has the time,

talent, and 46 to **municate the ideas of newsmakers and experts, 47 then is the

transaction between the journalist and those newsmakers and experts? 48 , the journalist, and

her institution, are profiting, hopefully handsomely, off their contribution to the enterprise. It"s not

going too 49 to say that the whole business would collapse without their 50 . Journalists

without sources are, well, 51 writers.

52 , those sources are giving up something of value. They"re giving up 53 , for one thing.

Some fine folks have spent countless hours 54 me through the details of the federal budget.

They"re giving up information that, in other 55 , people pay them for—consider a CEO who

gives paid lectures or a life-long academic at a private college. They are 56 themselves to

considerable professional risk, both by telling the journalist things they"re not supposed to share

and simply by making themselves 57 to being misinterpreted in public.

58 how does the **pensate these sources? Well, the 59 answer in a market economy

would be that the sources to get paid. But, in a brilliant maneuver, journalism as a profession has

deemed it 60 to pay sources for information.
