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.
