Yes, you are right, most doctors can also use their commonsense but in my dad's case they didn't! i hesitate to say this as my best buddy is a neurologist but i agree with vinod khosla, in a few years doctors as we know them today will be replaced by technology (http://venturebeat.com/2012/09/02/vinod-khosla-says-technolo...)!

they should be able to work on a higher level, just as we moved up the chain from punch cards and assembly code on 8080s doctors need to move up the chain as well, otherwise we will have many near and dear ones dying due to single point failure (PCP)!

to answer your question, i am working on an app (will post a link to it in the next 2-3 weeks) that brings the patient closer to more physicians, hopefully someone relevant, in my dad's case, a neurologist (at least it takes the risk of seeing one doctor out of the equation).

A small group of us are interested in developing healthcare related apps. My email is ryan.teo (at) gmail.com.
