From what I've heard, part of this is restricted supply. The AMA approves existence of all medical schools; not the free market. They also create the hoops you have to jump through. I've heard it's been decades since a new medical school opened in 'murca.
And from my experience, the majority of doctors out there are useless. I'm sure like cops and young single girls, there are a mythical few good ones out there. I haven't come across them yet.
They can't keep appointment times or follow up. My wife waited 48 hours for her crap-bag doctor to call in the right prescription for her pain. That's after he was late for the appointment (I've only known one doctor who could keep an appointment time within 10 minutes) and spent about 2 minutes with her.
This myth about "ask your doctor" is bullshit. What the hell can a doctor know about you while only spending 30 seconds to 2 minutes in the room with you? Doctors might as well use Skype except in cases where they actually HAVE to examine some physical ailment.
