There are a million doctors in the U.S. so if they're each seeing 60 patients per day that would mean that 17% of the population needs to be seen by a doctor daily.

That would put hospitals somewhere between churches and offices in terms of the impact they have attracting attendance.

That's not what the post you're replying to said, at all.

I'm not in a position to evaluate whether they were right, but you've presented this as if it proves them wrong when it's barely related to what they said.

I'm not sure you understand how the Internet works. I'm here to share thoughts, not to prove I'm smarter than people.
Not all doctors are general practice doctors. I bet surgeons or cardiologists spend more time per patient.
