Exactly, and in Sweden GPs are paid more than specialists because it is much more difficult to decide when/or when not to perform a procedure. Also, convincing a patient to change their lifestyles/and or take medications so that they donāt get sicker and cost the system more money down the road is vital. In my mind, all physicians are important, but gps are the linchpin. Here in Canada they arenāt paid the most, but do well comparatively, especially if they work rurally and are involved in complex care.
