A retired General just made the point that Donald Trump is currently ineligible to be volunteer for the Army because he is a convicted felon. But he wants to be our Commander in Chief.
Based on the polar opposite responses “Why Calcium score?”.. to “stress test” to “cath” we have checked all possible options.
Despite data & guidelines there are many grey zones in cardiology where there is no clear right answer!
I think we should present the risks & benefits of all options to the patient (yes there is risk of cath but also risk of SCD with unrevascularized LM).
We should empower patients to make the most important decisions of their life when there is true equipoise & lack of consensus among medical community.
That is my interpretation of shared decision making:

Calling a consult:
OK: the patient is sick and I’m not sure what’s going on. I’d like your help.
Not OK: just wanted to have you on board.
Even if you can’t articulate a question, have a reason for the consult.
