In order to earn much money from the investigations sent to a laboratory by a clinician, the trend has been to open up a small laboratory besides their clinic with a help of a technician. Is this ethical? Some people may not know how to perform the tests.

So is it ethical for clinicians to run their own laboratories without a pathologist? This question is similar to the one posted earlier where it was asked if a surgeon can perform C section instead of by a gynecologist.
