What's the difference between a general practioner and a specialist?

A GP treats what you've got. A specialist thinks you've got what s/he treats.

And another popular contrast of GP's and specialists:

A general practioner knows almost nothing about a whole lot...

A specialist knows knows a whole lot about almost nothing...
