I agree with your assessment and solution to the problem, but conventional medicine will never allow it. A brief perspective on alternative medicine vs conventional medicine economics: If mediocre, robot, Merck Manual-cookbook, new-Rx-for-every-ailment docs had to compete with what we in natural/alternative medicine offer for cash pay, robo-docs would have empty offices. The main reason for our competitive advantage on a cash-basis level playing field is that cash-paying patients are more motivated to get well, rather than to be subsidized on a health-purgatory treadmill, as many of those with cadillac insurance plans are. Also, we in alternative medicine are trained to look for root cause of pathologies and eliminate that, which deprives robo-doc of yet another permanent customer, but gives us new referrals from happy former patients.
