[On Doctors] How accurate are these assumptions?

Assumptions List:

1) Patients are 90% of the time diagnosed incorrectly.
2) Those 90% patients have to come at least twice to even get diagnosed correctly.
3) Too many patients for too little doctors in Government hospitals.
Doctors hardly give a vibe of caring.
4) Doctors relatives or references get treated easily and with a priority instead of thousands of patients waiting in Government Hospitals.
5) Doctors or management in this case do nothing about the amount of beggars lurking in all floors of the hospital.
6) Government have countless number of babies being delivered in the amazing delivery room [Awkward! but damn! true... ask anyone :)]
7) If you were diagnosed as having Hepatitis A the first time, you'll get Hepatitis B the next time. In the next visit you'll be diagnosed to be wrongly diagnosed. Hence, you are free to go. [All hospitals, Army, Government, Private, Independent]
8) Every Doctor starts their treatment by saying, "You look fine (even when you can hardly breathe, or even when your eyes are popping out or even when don't have life siding for you)", "I've 25 years of experience, I have thousands of patients like that and they get treated instantly"
9) Doctor: "Who gave you this bloody medicine (gesturing at the stupidity of the the other Doctor who gave medicine). Who gave you this medicine"
Patient: "(Your) Nurse"
Doctor: "(A little confused. Then confidently says) Ok! I'll see (and rushes out of the patients room)"
10) Imagine how Doctor treats elderly patients. If our youth are treated by dedicated Doctors. But listen up it is not their fault. The quantity of patients are huge, the pay of Government Doctors are extremely low Rs. 30,000 - 40,000 (recently increased). And the duties are extremely tough. With the NEW epidemic of bombs in the country a common place, no popular/big city has been able to escape from the menace, Doctors ability to juggle the pressure increases manifold.

Good luck Doctors of Pakistan. Good luck Pakistan.

By the way life expectancy in Pakistan has increased :'}

Let me know in the comments how many assumptions are accurate and how you have been treated in the hospitals (your experience in the hospital)
