In medicine, you can always do more tests. If I do 1,000 tests on every person reading this, it is virtually guaranteed that 10 of those tests will be abnormal. Which leads to more tests. This fishing expedition approach to medicine is not a good idea, for two reasons: 1) almost all the fish you will catch will be red herring (i.e. false positives); 2) the fishing boat is a yacht (i.e. very expensive).
