I have worked as a photographer on archaeological digs, and also shoot for my personal use. On the digs (like your medical shooting), reshoots are usually not possible, because after the shot, the subject, like a mudbrick wall, may be destroyed or, in the case of objects, removed from context. With film I not only bracketed everything, I shot with two cameras in case there was a problem in film development, or simply with losing a roll, or any of the other problems you can think of. With digital, I shot with two cameras, but often only one or two shots -- I'd chimp, see that the shot looked good, and quit. Then I'd back them up on a computer and burn them onto CDs as quickly as I could.
When I'm shooting a landscape for personal use, I'll shoot, chimp, reshoot, chimp, and so on -- maybe take five or ten shots from one position, adjusting skyline, picking up one cloud and not another, and so on. I've filled four 2G cards like that, wandering around shooting autumn color with a D2x. So I shoot more for some things, less for others.
