I don't have much experience with specialists, but my experience with GPs has been awful, for every good one you meet, you have to deal with 5 other terrible ones. I will never give up my GP until he retires or an AI replaces him because he is probably the first doctor since my childhood with an actual air of competency around him.
I feel bad for the rest of the people who visit my clinic and have to deal with any of the other garbage practitioners who usually fall into one of two buckets. Foreign (mainly Indian) hacks with zero medical knowledge and bedside manners, and greedy yuppie strivers with a knack for memorization but terrible analytical ability.
Most doctors don't deserve their inflated salaries or social status, and I hope they are soon brought back down to Earth by technology, they have been able to skid by for way too long.
This is exactly my experience. In some medical domains its even worse - I think I have never seen a good dentist. Can you even build up passion about staring at random human mouths ?
