In some countries, such as Sweden, primary care physicians are seen as the most vital physicians in the healthcare system. They are the gatekeepers and are the ones involved in preventative care. They are generalists and jacks of all trades. They don’t just study one part of the body. They also have to understand how to interact with all kinds of people, and most importantly when to treat someone and what to investigate. The shitty ones order everything and ship their patients off to specialists. The good ones will tell you what you don’t need and come with a plan to prevent you from getting worst, and when they see something that worries them, then they’ll ship you off.

Fuck AI, there’s no replacing a primary care physician.
