Stop Pretending You’re Not Rich

I'd like to think that there are diminishing returns, but in my experience, the biggest complaint about doctors (and from doctors) is the lack of time they get to spend on a patient. It would stand to reason that a doctor that can spend an hour talking to you, researching your condition and history, collaborate with colleagues across disciplines is going to have a much greater impact than one who sees you for 5 minutes.

And it costs quite a lot to get that level of care.

If you talk to someone with significant health issues, it rapidly becomes, "The doctors don't have the answer".

Nobody wants to spend longer with the doctor - they want healthy, productive life outside the doctor's office.
