Doctors.

I have a lot of respect for doctors.  I really do, but I do wonder about them at times.  Whenever I go into a business I can't help but look for things to improve.  I know that some of my ideas wouldn't fly because I don't know anything about the business but some I wonder why it's not being done.

For those of you that say that if there was a better way then it would be done that way, maybe.  Wine is sold in glass bottles with natural corks.  Every vineyard in the world would love to go to a screw top on a plastic bottle but the traditional consumers would prefer to pay more for crap in a glass bottle instead of buying a box of better wine.  To paraphrase one engineer:  Form follow failure, unless people don't want it better.

That said; we love our children's pediatrician and if she and her family were to knock on our door at o'dark thirty and need a place to crash we would let them with no questions asked.  But I wonder how she and other doctors run a business. 

It seems that a way to majorly increase business would be to open on the weekends.  Hire a new doctor right out of college and let them know that they will work on weekends and they are only getting the "easy" patients.  Basic check-ups and the like.  Three days out of the week they work with the experienced doctor to learn things and to make sure that the fng can be trusted.

I don't know enough about the doctor field so maybe I'm missing something.  I don't think so though.
