Petition Action

Stop making too many medical specialties, for it causes long waiting times.

Petition Details

For example ENT: Ear, Nose, Throat, doctor, add ophthalmology an eye doctor. You'll get EENT: Ear, Eye, Nose, Throat, doctor, as one speciality. The waiting time would decrease. While both ENT and Opht, are both clinical and surgical doctors. They must be separated, clinical EENT, surgical EENT.

Additional Information

Same as above but different specialties. Urologists treat both male and female urinary tract, conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra. As well as the pelvic floor and urinary incontinence in women. And the male reproductive system. OB-GYN: Gynecologists treat the female reproductive system. Obstetrics is the care of pregnant women, focusing on pregnancy, labor, delivery and the postpartum. Add these two specialties as one speciality, but separate clinical and surgical.
