Why doctors are sick of their profession

I wonder if in the future, doctors will become more like bearucracts. You go to the internet, find out what you have. Then you fill out the appropriate form, go to a doctor who stamps the decision with a red mark of approval, granting you access to medication / surgery.

This is exactly how I interact with the medical monopoly. I don't think I have been to the doctor for the last 10 years without knowing my diagnosis and treatment in advance. My job has then been to guide the doctor to the correct diagnosis in a way that keeps their ego intact.

A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient. Osler. (Even more so for a lay person)

I couldn't have said it better myself.
