Really nice job on this Ricky!! Was really thoughtful, and also provoking.
I find the biggest problem for docs in the US is that in order to function in this completely dysfunctional healtcare infrastructure, and let's face it, to make a decent living, they are forced to fly in and out of seeing patients and don't have the kind of time to spend the way they would like. I really hope and pray things change in the coming years to improve this. I think that in itself would go a long way to facilitating better dr./patient partnerships.
