It's not even remotely efficient industrialization though. Doctors spend a lot of time doing things that could easily be done by someone with much less training. Doctors would have more time to spend with patients that actually need their expertise if we had a better system for delegating tasks and triaging patients.
It kind of reminds me of how the medical industry in the US is more privatized than most places, yet pricing actually works in such an anti-capitalist way (even for elective/non-urgent procedures). They really manage to capture the worst of both worlds.
