The kind of people who can jump through all the hoops required, I call them "box checkers". I saw a lot of them in my youth, doing their dead level best to make it into the Ivy Leagues, but it applies just as well to lower tier medical school. Not just doctors either. Ted Cruz is a poster boy for the "box checker" type. Hardworking, diligent, attentive to detail, and given well defined goals, will accomplish them. Question of when, not if.

Not the kind of person who does well though when dealing with unusual or unexpected events, where improvisation is required. Bad at diagnosis, where part of figuring out what is going wrong, is to use your intuition. These are specialists, not generalists, tend to have a narrow view of things, seeing only the trees and not the forest. There are a fraction of people who make it to the Ivy League levels who have good general intelligence, but they are a minority, IMHO.

Bottom line, those kind of people are easy to manipulate and control. Do not trust them too much, especially in this era. They are not your friends. Treat them the same way you'd treat the HVAC guy, read reviews and if it looks like he isn't working out, fire him and replace him with someone who will.

Medical system is collapsing anyway (along with everything else it seems). Get used to DIY.
