Examples of overtreat in a Sentence
There are some instances where doctors make black-and-white decisions based purely on the number on the thermometer, infants less than three months of age—if they have a fever, it’s a big deal. They get admitted to the hospital. If it’s 100.3 they don’t. So we’re making judgments on normal and abnormal temperatures based on information that may be inaccurate. This may lead us to overtreat some patients that don’t need to be treated and to withhold treatment from patients that should be treated.
