Jill Wruble
JILL WRUBLE, D.O., has many stories to tell. She is a radiologist, a former U.S. Army major, a faculty member at two medical schools, a mother, an endurance athlete, and a guitarist. Three years ago, Wruble started a new story. She became concerned with the explosion of “incidentalomas”—abnormalities that appear on tests ordered for a different purpose and which trigger a cascade of additional medical testing. “This phenomenon yields not only unnecessary patient anxiety but also extraordinary and disproportionate expense,” Wruble explains. “Less than 1 percent of these abnormalities are significant, but overall, pursuing them is harmful and very costly.” Those costs add up: to more than $200 billion a year.
