At what age should you stop seeing a pediatrician and start seeing an adult doctor?

• if you are a dr then you should know how to figure it out, perhaps not diagnose without history but on the fly otherwise you were outofdate the week before college graduation. why should people have to spend 1200 to go to the er for 5 minutes of contact with nurses in training who cant take proper vitals to have a dr with no ability to troubleshoot anything beyond his box of knowledge sign off on an xray that shows no foreign objects- in all of 2.5 hrs and half of that was because the nurse who checked the vitals who took you to the lab and back forgot to tell you after shift change that nothing was in the childs stomach and you were free to go an hour ago, somebody should have told you that. figure it out, earn your paycheck instead of passing it on to a higher rate specialist because the insurance will cover it and you dont want to be held responsible for your mistake- high risk, this is your job title internalist may be your speciality but dr is your responsibility. You may not be able to figure out how to unclog the drain in your dishwasher and have the money to pay some schmoe to deduce the water runs out the bottom and there is a clog from point a to point b, so there must be a point a hidden if i dont see it. But when it comes to the human body you should take vitals scans, and know what is wrong- if a vet can know what they know about varieties of animals including humans, a human dr who gets paid more than any other dr should be a healthcare provider not a referral service paid for referrals and doing no real service for their patient besides the disservice of charging them out the ass and prolonging their condition!
