They knew enough to know upon assessment that the standard flow chart process was appropriate, and additional follow-up or referral to the specialist was unnecessary. That is the kind of skill and training core to the profession.
IT doesn't reprovision your work laptop after you accidentally deleted a file, they follow the appropriate process for the task ("they just pulled up the system restore flow chart, what am I even paying these guys for").

You should have been far more concerned if they didn't follow the workup protocol. There's little decision making in the workup phase, it's basically gathering information.
A family member went to the doctor to get a work up on a rare disease. The work up basically followed a flow chart from a specialist center that was easily accessible online.
I’m sure there’s some additional confidence from experience and knowledge of the first principles that vastly outweighs my judgement, but on the surface it didn’t seem like the doctor had obtained a skill set that should command a 2x-3x training and schooling premium.
