There needs to be more than one level of doctor. No decision should be left solely to one doctor: human health is too complex for our current level of technology.
At the patient level, there is the doctor that interacts directly with the patient.
There should be a doctor whose sole purpose is to observe and support;
to consult on patient cases, contact specialists, research cases, etc.
There should be a doctor who manages a patient's overall health - but like a teacher with students, there should be a limit to the number of patients they can manage at a time.
Then there should be a doctor who reviews this process.
Specialists should focus not on direct patient interactions, but on supporting general care doctors in the technicalities of their specialty and guiding them through cases.
These different types of doctors would have training based on the role they want to fill in patient care. Doctors who interact directly with patients could have focused training in collecting information and other subjects related to the article at hand.
