But the physician, or t least the GP, seems to more of a gatekeeper. I think many of us experienced the whole "take an Advil and see if it gets better". I'm not sure if I'd necessarily trust the intuition of a person.
Not to say there's prolly not a few holes in "filling in a questionnaire" but I get the point where OP is coming from. Healthcare is clogged and some smart thing to automate or make some parts of the process easier might free up time for physicians to look after others, maybe
Seems like a friendly environment over there...
