Up to a point I agree with you. I worked with an Indian guy that had been pushed into medicine by his parents and had moved to the US (with an arranged marriage) to escape their influence and quit being a doctor since he really disliked medicine. He had 2 years of secondary education then a residency. Every time I had a medical problem he was able to quickly and correctly diagnose it and tell me what I needed to do. He obviously wasn't able to prescribe anything to me here in the States, but when I went to my regular doctor they arrived at the same conclusion he had. Heck most PA's and NP's here have more medical education than him, but he could get the bulk of diagnoses correct. Why do we need so many physicians struggling under crippling debt to diagnose arm fractures, ear infections, and ring worm? Let the more exotic things trickle up to specialists instead.
