The major problem I have seen is the disparagement of general practice in favor of specialists. The old timey G.P. was something of a specialist in many fields...so much so that their patients (that would be clients today) rarely needed to see specialists.

I design building systems and frequently take on the whole design process for simple tenant improvements including the architectural portion, just as the old school doctors who treated a wide scope of illness. I was talking to the Director of the Building Code Branch back in 2006 and he said that with all the new regulations and codes being added to mandatory system requirements that the days of the universal practitioner were coming to an end as each would have to concentrate on a part of the building process and master that as there was too much for a single person to master it all.
I still do it but it does take longer these days to weed through the forest of rules.
I do like the Mid Western Doctors approach to carry a bottle of DMSO in his little black bag as it seems to cure a variety of ills without tests to verify a diagnosis.
The last time I saw a doctor with the little black bag was back in the early 60's.
Big pharma influence must be uprooted. All the biased studies. The current model is all pharmaceuticals with little attention to common sense natural healing.
My doc, whom I love cause she is nuttier than I am, misdiagnosed me about a year and a half ago with a prostate infection, which I did not have. Antibiotics didnt work, and then DRE, and then wanted me to go for colonscopy, and yet another urologist.
Well, I said NO after i figured she was guessing. I decided to simply pay attention to my body, and work on figuring it out myself, which I did.
Through exercise, and paying attention, i realized i was able to manipulate my symptoms of discomfort with stretching.. Thats when i realized my back was my problem, and not my prostate, colon, or anything else. I squashed (no hemmorage) 4 discs between s1 and L1 and all my discomfort was ghost pain from nerve route impingement.
If I had listened to my Dr, I would have never found out what was really going on
This is one aspect of 'progress' I've found very irritating. Particularly being handed off to "hospitalists.' So far with my new Doc, I've been able to resist. May be the worst for it, but....

A guessing game for most.
