My wife is a nurse who basically runs a specialty clinic for an internationally renowned doc. They only see patients 2 days a week and are booked 6-9 months in advance. People usually see him as a last resort and only via referral from their docs. They have so many openings for new patients, so many for followups and are usually overbook due to the people who don't show up. People make appts, don't show up because they "overslept", "roads were bad", etc. then want to come in the next day. Most times this can't happen and then they get mad.
Those follow-ups are scheduled in and sometimes cause the overbooking that makes you wait in the reception area.
Having a spouse in the medical field is an eye-opener. Like most things, there are great doctors and then there are poor doctors.

Also eliminate lawsuits against drug companies for drugs that are FDA approved. Doctors order a lot more tests to cover themselves in case of a lawsuit.
People don't realize that doctors are human, not infallible and mistakes happen.
And as others have said, if you limit pay, who will want to spend 8 years (after 4 years of college) and about $200,000 to become a doctor if you'll be limited in salary and have huge responsibility (life and death) that someone else gets without all the education and risk?

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
