Can be fixed by education.
GPs offices are empty while cas waiting rooms are full, mostly with
people who have flu or a headache, or a kid with a temperature.

We have the same issues with our emergency services here, but our
physicians' waiting rooms are not empty. As of 2002 70% of the geographic
USA was underserved by medical people, from slightly to substantially.

Not to mention doctors' extensive libraries, reference materials and
computers......

Which is a good thing. The broader the information base available on
instant demand to physicians, the better patients can be served. It is
predicted that by 2015 most surgical theaters will have voice controlled
computer screens over the operating table from which a physician can access
almost any medical information he requires, including the past and present
medical history of the patient. That, of course, will be no substitute for
a doctor's knowledge and skill, but access to broader knowledge is always a
good thing.
