Doctors burning-out is probably the worse red-flag you could have for a health system. It's frightening to think the person diagnosing my parents and children might not be in full possession of their capacity or make rash decisions.
I'm seeing the same pattern for many crucial functions having been pushed over the line during the last two decades or so. Whether it's a doctor, a teacher, a nurse, a childminder, the police, etc. All the jobs that are essential for a developed society have crumbled down to the point I'd discourage any young person to pursue a career in that sector.

You will get potentially worse treatment by definition, depends on many things but probability is against you. Also, the bigger the hospital usually the better experts they have on critical stuff (and more chance you won't wait long for ie CT or MRI), smaller hospitals and clinics just forward serious patients to big ones. At the end healthcare is just another branch of market and all woes that apply to rest of us apply to them, no magical immunity due to more noble profession.
