In real life, though, that specialist with 10 years experience has a 2 year waiting list for new patients, and you wouldn't even get in to see them anyway, because they don't take your health insurance.

Meanwhile, the "100 high school students" on a mobile phone are the only medical consultation someone in Sub-Saharan Africa or Southern Asia is going to have access to at all.

"Why Not Both" would surely apply here. Maybe we can't give everyone access to a kind, caring, patient human doctor; but we sure can make coming in second place a lot less painful.
