Worried your worry is untreatable?

Untreatable and the average primary-care physician can't effectively treat it are two different categories.

We also don't have an incentive system whereby those who can effectively treat actually get to treat. Medicine is rewarded on a cost-plus basis instead of being payed by the outcome.
