Short form: Lots o' people doing CT scans, for pretty dubious reasons. Some doctors are trying to slow the process down. If they start sending you for lots of imaging (like, more than one, maybe, more than five definitely) you probably want to start dragging your heels and asking a _lot_ of questions.
