It's called defensive medicine. If a doctor orders three times the number tests that are really necessary to diagnose a problem prior to choosing a course of treatment, he's far less likely to get sued in the event that something goes wrong.
Providing, of course, that the treatment he renders is consistent with what the tests indicate.
Think of those additional tests as additional witnesses testifying on behalf of the doctor in a court of law.
