A General Practitioner doctor deals with all health ailments. as a consequence they are not trained to be experts in all health ailments; they are trained in the first steps of dealing with all ailments (which is a difficult endeavour).

That's a defense for the claim that doctors aren't experts at everything. It's not evidence for that claim that doctors are very good at general health.
