All experiments

One more test

A patient has an 80% chance of having umphitis, an invented disease. A positive Z-ray would confirm it; a negative one would be inconclusive, and the chance would drop to 60%. The treatment is unpleasant, and treating a healthy patient is just as bad as leaving a sick one untreated. If the Z-ray is the only test available, should it be done?
