..but I understand his broader point - these are not deeply introspective, gifted individuals. A front line GP (and probably many 'specialists') is an auto mechanic who replaces an awful lot of ECM modules unnecessarily along to way to actually fixing the problem. In an aggressively supervised service field many of these people wouldn't make it. Doctors may get flagged when they kill enough people over a local threshold, but qualitatively dismal performance (empathy, followup, even a solid fundamental knowledge of the subject matter) is tolerated quite nicely in the system.
