I’m wondering what country you are from. Its an intersting perspective which speaks to the differences between the US and other countries. Here our best and brightest typically become doctors because it is generally regarded as the top of mountain careerwise. I wonder if it is second tier in other countries because as a doctor you have to play on the local stage whereas engineers get to play on a global stage which gives the access to the US.

As long as you are insured I think it is very possible to be treated by a top performer. You just need to be able to figure out who they are which isnt easy and to strongly advocate for your own care which isnt either.
