      @@Monicalala actually, some docs now have that posted all over the place. It feels very warm and welcoming as a patient with complex medical needs- some weeks I'm at medical appointments 5 days a week. I can add several more appointments- weeks apart- for primary care provider appointments and I can spend that much more money on co-pays. Oh, yay! I leave those places- they're obviously so busy that providing the kind of care that has saved my life several times isn't possible.
      Doctors need to understand that they must stop accepting patients when they're getting so busy that they're triple booked routinely. It's simply impossible to provide adequate care at that point and I doubt it's the life that anyone who sets out to be a doctor wants. My current PCP took 6 months to get into as a new patient. She spends as much or as little time as my situation requires.

    My primary care doctor was the one who single-handedly figured out how to manage my chronic migraines and solved my mysterious nerve injury that dozens of neurologists, spine surgeons, and hand/microsurgeons failed to diagnose. She is a family physician at my university's student clinic and professor of medicine and sees a crazy amount of patients each day but treats every patient like we're the only person she has to worry about.

      That reeeeally depends on your standards of “work-life-balance”. Especially in underserved areas this stuff is more stressful than ‘Nam. Constant On call because there’s always someone calling in the middle of the night, people show you their “weird thing on their lower back” while you’re shopping groceries, too many people, too little time, no money, constant paperwork.... I’d call that the opposite of a good work-life-balance. But it IS the epitome of helping and the classic “doctor”... the very fact that people still do this without a gun pointed to their head ... they are worth their weight in pure gold.

    My mom is a family doctor and she gets paid dirt and treated so badly. She’s paid by the number of patients she sees so the good doctors that don’t kick their patients out after 5 mins don’t make much at all. Plus she has an average of 2 hours of paperwork at the end of each workday that pile up because she didn’t want to fall farther behind and make her patients wait longer for their appointments. She’s not paid for any of the paperwork. She also has to pay rent for her office space, her medical receptionist, and every band aid and piece of paper comes out of her pocket. She has to know everything about every possible thing that could be going on with a person. Family doctors (at least in Canada) are such a scarcity because no one wants to graduate med school with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and then have the government act like you’re not as important as everyone else. She’s so fed up with it that she wants to change careers. Thank you for stressing that her job is extremely difficult- it sounds fucking exhausting.

    Six years later, I haven’t come close to finding a new family doctor like him, which is sad.

It's nearly impossible to get into the PCP in under a week so I usually take my son to Urgent Care if he's having something right now, or if I need to get patched up. We've only been to the ED twice--once when he couldn't breathe (severe asthma attack), and once when I had extreme abdominal pain. I can't imagine taking him to the ED with anything less than a real emergency, but I guess it's good that parents are making sure it isn't an emergency...? Thank you for what you do

      @@FenrirWolfganger I mean you still have to pass boards and clinical rotations but if you don't care about a big academic center you can apply to lots of rotations without interviewing and still have a high chance of matching. I think as long as you rank at least 12 it's almost guaranteed. FM is also IMG friendly so lots of them go into that.

    As a Family Medicine doctor in the UK (or GP - General Practitioner as we call it) I agree this is exactly the same!!! Apart from ‘prior authorisations’ as the NHS is free at the point of delivery for all, we are the gate keepers and monkeys doing lots of the leg work!! We do 90% of all UK medical consultations for 9% of the annual NHS health budget!!! Great videos and strongly resonate this side of the pond too!!

She has helped me tirelessly (I have quite a few medical issues), she is so kind, so patient, and she goes above and beyond for every single one of her patients. She usually runs 10-15 minutes behind but I don’t even care because I know that she is running late because she took the time and energy to help the people before me to the best of her abilities. She comes into every appointment with a smile and she is so willing to listen to you about any concerns/questions/input you have in regards to your care. Family medicine is the backbone of medicine
