In the US we have general practitioners. They are full blown doctors with all of the 8 years of training that that entails.<p>What I&#x27;m proposing is an intermediate step between doctors and nurses (or perhaps buffing up the powers of higher level nurses so they could operate standalone) so that one doesn&#x27;t always need to make an appointment with someone with 8 years of specialized training to be stuck with a tetanus booster shot.
