.... I have run into a couple doctors that I would not consider useful, i.e. they would spend 30 seconds listening to you and jump to a (wrong) diagnosis.

And yes there is little doubt that some of those guys graduated with top grades.

One doctor in particular comes to mind, he had a clinic set up with about 8 rooms. He had his own lab and if you visited him, for ANY reason, you were going to get a uninalysis and CBC done on the spot. Everyone, every visit. Since he had 8 room and he was the only doctor there he did not spend much time with you. A couple of minutes max. I was glad when I realized I needed a new doctor after he gave me a ridiculous prescription that only made things worse.
