Well of course that's what they think. Everybody is against "overtreatment". If they aren't against a treatment, they don't consider it "overtreatment", they just consider it "treatment".

Different people have different boundaries for what they consider "overtreatment".

Yes, but the point is that most doctors would treat less than patients and their families if it were their choice.
