Alright, not to completely derail this thread.
Yes, I agree of the importance for specialists to know there stuff and not be held in the hands of the incompetent.
Back when I was 21 I got in a motocross accident and fractured my right radius. I received 2 scans, one from the ER and one from the doctor my work approved of.
The asian ER doctor pointed out initially what he thought I did then the x-rays proved him right.
The 2nd appointment I got new scans and the doctor said I might be able to heal up right with no surgery, just see how the cast sits.
The doctor leaves and without any supervision a hack female nurse puts a cast on me without completely straightening my arm. I was in so much pain but foolishly believed the nurse knew what she was doing.
Well, nearly a month wasted and they had to operate on me and rebreak my wrist.
When they took the pins and screws out of my arm they asked if I wanted to be put under, I told them to just take them out. The doctor took them out with a crescent wrench and pliers. I don't think they are always after money but you have bad procedures in place and bad things happen.
The injury set back a lot of things, as my job was a physical one at the time and cost me in both time and money.
