A good doctor is subjective. A good doctor to me may be a horrible doctor to someone else. So who is the judge, and how doctors being screened for this honor?

My GP knew a little about a lot. He had no problem seeking information from books and articles. He also had no problem saying that what I had required someone who knew more than him. Thus the referral.

At the end of the day I would vote him as a "good" doctor. He was honest and could treat the day to day minutia. I don't have facts or data to back this up, but in the grand scheme of things, don't most patients mostly have minor, easily recognizable and treatable conditions/diseases?
