The above is quite true, but related to
the system, IMO.
Now there are more patients, more older retiring G.P.s, more anti-efficient bureaucratic steps, more complexity and miscommunication, more siphoning of direct payment for time/labor, and more potential for catastrophic loss of a lifetime career because of a single mistake.
Basically, the modern doctor is under fire at a time when he/she is needed most.
When the big monetary voices speak, the "walls" go up.
Human mistakes happen everywhere. That is nature. Bring the problems into the open and fixing them make a better system.
