The typical primary care physician is incompetent in every measurable respect. This is a huge problem. Here, I make the case that Primary care physicians are broadly, grossly incompetent This is due to empty credentialism Making it much (~10X) easier to become a PCP is a good solution Primary Care Physicians are Broadly, Grossly Incompetent The standard of competence I am comparing primary care physicians against is: They should be able to reliably diagnose diseases they are trained to diagnose.
