> no knowledge outside of prescribing pills most of the time it's because a doctor here is known as general practitioner. they can't do much for you unless your problem is a common one they see a lot. they watch out for boomer illnesses which could be potentially lethal and do preventative healthcare for them. if you're younger they'll never order a blood value test or check how things are unless you have some sort of horrid condition. medical specialists however will usually know their stuff and be able to help you.
