Like when someone I know had west nile and her physician continued to treat her for the flu, refusing to test for west nile because he had a white coat, years of schooling, and we were just dumb shite peasants punching in symptoms on WebMD? Everyone on here can probably recount similar situations.

This is my favorite argument around here

If you support this bill, can you explain how it is more likely that someone with 1/10th the amount of real world experience would be more likely to make that extremely rare diagnosis?

The argument that doctors miss diagnoses is not an argument for this bill. IT IS AN ARGUMENT AGAINST THIS BILL.

That is what I mean by higher quality primary care

You are more likely to hear a story like this involving a doctor because there are simply more primary care MDs, it's statistics, not some phenomenon unique to doctors
