Just curious...
Do you think that you may have a selection bias? For instance, during my Peds rotation I saw 2 patients with Addison's. The parents of the kids, needless to say, were VERY upset with their primary Peds docs, and in the end, ended up firing their PCP - as no "good doctor" would have missed the diagnosis. Needless to say, their presentation was quite enigmatic, and with the incidence rate of Addison's, one could argue that more prevalent diseases were far more likely to be responsible for their presentations....
Regardless, while I agree that one should always go to the most qualified physician for procedures (especially when eyesight is involved), I wonder if what you may be observing in your current academic-based practice may be a bit narrow and really involve procedures that have gone wrong...
