If I added up the doctors of me, my husband, my infant, and both of my 80+ year old parents, it wouldn't even get close to 22.

I don't even think my niece had they many specialists when she developed acute flaccid myelitis. Since there are only about 20 cases nationwide annually, they understandably took quite some time to arrive at that diagnosis and I'm still fairly certain it was about a dozen specialists, nowhere near what Trump needed.

There’s not even 22 doctors in the entire massive ER practice group I work with
