We have the comfort of a training course and regulations which protect
our monopoly in medicine and prevent others from taking our jobs. Much
of the work we do is probably quite doable by others at a lower cost,
and indeed our monopoly is under threat from nurses and other health
practitioners. OTOH we do have some legal liability which justifies the
costs to some extent.
Software is still sold on the open market with very little regulation
with regard to quality/fitness etc. You do not have the protection of
regulations that prevent those without the relevant qualifications
setting up in opposition. On the other hand once you have built your
software you can replicate it infinitely almost without cost. Imagine if
I could make a million clones of myself, with each of them charging a
23 or whatever for seeing as many punters as I could find.
Unfortunately I must see each patient personally, even if their problem
is similar to the last time.

which screw to adjust".
Your approach clearly ignores the investment in training, education
and attending seminars, work experience, etc, etc. You surely would
argue and defend this same points as a practicing GP to justify the
charge of a standard Item 23, would you not?.
