OK. When you caveat it as a rare specialist with an attitude, then I'd agree with you, at least in practice. Let them do their tiny/special job and don't expect/require them to think/care about you as a whole person. But in those cases, who is in charge does matter a great deal. If they're so hyper-focused on their tiny little slice of the world, then they *need* a general contractor to integrate their work into the whole. And in our fscked up mostly for-greed healthcare system, the patient is considered the integrator.
