Physician extenders i.e. Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practioners could efficiiently do much of the more common tasks that many of us take up the time of MDs to diagnose and treat; colds ,flu, minor bumps and scratches and even more . The military uses extenders( corpsmen, army medics EMTs) widely and they provide quality care. Caution: The AMA will scream bloody murder.
