  "abstract": "Ali is correct to decry the principle of “leaving nothing unchecked” in emergency medicine, all in the name of patient safety.1 Tackling overinvestigation, however, calls for upstream solutions: better triage of patients in general practice and early medical training that fosters confidence in the art of well judged clinical restraint.2 These solutions begin at medical school on placements where overinvestigation is neither possible or desirable: palliative care, elderly care, paediatrics, and (especially rural) general practice. Longitudinal general practice experience is particularly important for learners to see the wide range of clinical normality3 and, by following patients up, to experience first hand the power of putting “whole person” care before investigation.",
