You can get a friggin hamburger 24/7 for slave wages. It isn't too much to ask a glorified webmd expert to help you not die in exchange for financial ruination.

Hopefully this is just a troll post, and you don't seriously believe that. There is so much wrong with it.

1) The burger flipper comparison is idiotic. People tend to have one primary care doctor. That person isn't going to be working 24/7. Nobody does that. Yes, you can get a burger 24/7, but it's not the same burger flipper working 24/7. So comparing multiple burger flippers to one doctor is idiotic.

2) Doctors are not glorified webmd experts at all. They go much further beyond that and can give you a proper diagnosis that nobody can actually do themselves. So many people self-diagnosis themselves incorrectly.

3) You're not going to die unless it's an emergency, and if it is an emergency, then you shouldn't be going to a primary care doctor. You should go straight to the ER. Non-emergencies can wait. You're not going to die in a non-emergency.
