Right, we all want that. We also want competent, attentive mechanics and plumbers. And politicians.
But the truth is, doctors are the same exact mediocre half-assing asshats as the rest of the population. The average doctor tends to standard ailments across standard people and needs instructions and standards first and foremost.
Having a small cadre of the most competent and intelligent people creating those instructions this would work worse than if every doctor were competent and intelligent, but it would work better than having 20% competent intelligent doctors tailoring care and 80% idiots doing whatever with crystals and homeopathy.
But we don't even have a system to enforce competence across the small cadre of professionals! They are also all idiots!
