This is what you get when medicine becomes a club and the AMA forgets that health is about people. When allopathic schools began chopping the body up into tiny segments where one could "specialize", they began killing off medicine - to the great benefit of their pals in the drug industry.
There are now more than 40 sub-specialties in medicine. If you have a sore throat and a rash, you cannot visit a "doctor" because there aren't any more "doctors". You have to visit 2 different "Board- certified Specialists" who will diagnose and prescribed medications based upon their very limited experience.
We are getting to the point (and may already be there) where someone having a heart attack in a restaurant will have his wife shout "Is there a board-certified cardiologist in the house".
So, are you complaining that instead of taking a stab in the dark, your GP refers you to an expert in their field is a bad thing for you personally, or the world in general?
I'll take the specialist, thanks!
