Making peace

Not a rant today.

There are good things about family med.

You do get to see a variety of patients. Pediatric to geriatric. From acute to chronic. Mild to life threatening.

There is much to learn, much to say, much to do.

In this place, you decide how far you want to go with a patient. Take the time to talk about prevention and explain the disease behind it all and walk through the medications with the patient? Or just diagnose, write a script, and discharge them. There difference is potentially so, very large.

Can't you see how easy it would be to burn out here?
