I agree with the person above - when a physician sees a patient more than is medically necessary, it is called churning. This refers to the fact that this physician obviously just wants to get even more money, so they are milking their patients even though there is no reason to do so. The patient is either healthy or not experiencing anything harmful, but the physician is still treating them although there is no viable purpose in that.
