Physicians and Future Health Care System

Generally speaking, like Howard and Jean said, I agree that Physicians deserve the high status in the community and command high level of authority, on the ground of their commitment and devotion to become good MDs. Sometimes, they also need to make critical and creative thinking during pivotal times; especially during the procedures in order to come up with good outcome of their patients.

On the other hand, however, I also do believe that there are rooms for improvement in current health care system. It also needs to be fixed or changed for better health care deliveries to the general public.

In order to do so, I think we need concerted efforts from all other health care professions like nurses, pharmacists, public health professionals, physician assistants as well as government officials, politicians, and insurers etc. In the future, there should be empowerment of authority to other health care professionals like public health professionals, nurses and pharmacists etc because they also deserve the level of respect and status like MDs are getting right now.
