> Take doctors for example. Multiple years of medical school and then 10 years of GP training… for what? They don’t invent treatments or do surgery. They basically don’t do anything.

It's unclear to me, as a consumer, why I should prefer a general practitioner to a nurse practitioner considering the number of relevant years of schooling are roughly the same.
