It’s intuitive that a patient who can spend an order of magnitude more time on his self care, and can self-articulate their symptoms, can occasionally self-diagnose better than a doctor. It’s not intuitive that a clinician with 4 years training and the same 30 minute window to diagnose you would do better than a physician with 12 years training.

The point is that it's easier for a service provider to spend 1-2 hours (or across multiple people) when they don't have to spend 12 years of training with high attrition rates. Both because it's more affordable, and because there's less scarcity.

Would they do worse?
