The solution to such a problem is pretty simple (and what they've done in Holland): Force everything to go through a single General Practitioner (of their choosing).
This makes it a lot more difficult for hypochondriacs to needlessly exhaust resources (like specialists), since the GP is aware of the patient's history of complaints.
It has lot of other nice side effects as well, as I'm sure you can imagine.
- scotty79 17y agoThat's the way it's organized in my country as well. You have to go through GP to see any specialist (with exception of dermatologist, urologist and perhaps few others). It sure helps to save specialist time but there are public complaints about wasted GP time. Maybe the trouble in my country is just lack of money for medical care.
