But, somehow, it works. Surgeons do beautiful operations... Internists diagnose and treat... Radiologists visualize... pharmas produce life saving drugs... etc.

I disagree that it works. It works in some arenas. We have an epidemic of obesity, diabetes and assorted metabolic disorders being "treated" by those same internists. Half the country is on antidepressants and the like. I would say that primary care, at least, has has reached the point of where chronic illnesses are being fostered rather than treated. And the whole thing costs too much. I don't have an issue with your radiologists and surgeons. Pharmas are a mixed bag.
