25years ago I asked for a doctor to look at a baby, he refused the first day, second day (even though the baby was not keeping food or fluid down), he refused, when I insisted, he said it would be later in the day and he would remove us from his list, I said ok, just get out to him, he walked in the door, the babies mother opened babies top, doctor looked, didnt examine, and rang for an ambulance, it was pyloric stonosis (if I have spelt it right), hospital said the baby would have died if he had been left another night. A doctor recently told me that the new doctors were tarined very quickly, and to be honest dont have much idea, but they can ring me or my colleagues for advice, most proffessions are like this now, my apprenticeship was seven years, it is done in 3 years max now, no wonder doctors etc dont know thier backside from thier elbow.
