Doctors have an appalling success rate in correctly identifying and correcting medical matters. The main problem seems to be that they allocate a tiny amount of time to a situation and assume that the cause is the most common [and least consequential] cause which could possibly result in at least some of the symptoms. So, for example, meningitis is commonly mistaken for the common cold. Malignant tumours are mistaken for "glands are up". Dietary deficiencies are ignored.

<Lower pay would greatly reduce the brightest group of male doctors. > The problem is not so much a lack of brains as a lack of due care and attention. Doctors are so expensive that half-witted nurses are left to make decisions and conduct procedures. Midwives in NZ have taken over from obstetricians [resulting in dead and maimed babies]. Medical care is so expensive that people self-diagnose and self-medicate rather than pay heaps for mistaken treatment, or they simply ignore the problem and hope it goes away.

The medical cartel needs to be deregulated and made competitive so that quality goes way up and costs come way down. There needs to be a Toyota or McDonalds of medical matters with consistent top quality control and efficiency.
