In medicine we have a legendary strategy called "masterly inactivity" in which a physician does not leap the moment an abnormal result appears but waits and watches closely before getting out the syringe. Sometimes one still has to leap, other times it becomes apparent that a less ugly treatment is an option and sometimes the abnormality goes away all by itself.

Part of the strategy is being fully aware of the situation and ready to react.

I suppose that some people attribute the inactivity as blindness to the abnormality or even incompetence. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that patients do well, lots of money is saved and physicians live longer.

IMHO this is the strategy followed by a lot of people around here. People *are* watching the monitor same as you and are just as capable as you of assessing what to do. Unless you can prove that your results- I guess relative income, job satisfaction and/or health/workload- are always superior to those exercising masterly inactivity, then you should go ahead and start radical treatment without assuming that everybody else is blind or stupid.
