The trend in health care is toward the PA'S and NP'S. This is not just in TV it's across the country. The Doctor has become more of a "manager" or "Adminstrator" if you will.
I have a doctor friend who told me recently that the paperwork is just overwhelming. You wonder where the doctor is-----he is doing paperwork on the computer system or overseeing it for the purpose of avoiding or defending a lawsuit.
We have trained too many lawyers and not enough doctors.
Could health care be better, sure, but in TV especially, the facilities and number of health care personnel has been unable to keep up with the growth and expansion.
