According to a study in the Journal of The American Medical Association (JAMA), when primary care doctors are plentiful, health care not only gets better, but costs go down. Dartmouth Medical School found lower death rates and fewer hospitalizations when patients had their health care provided by qualified physicians in an office setting. There is a DIFFERENCE between GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, FAMILY DOCTORS and INTERNAL MEDICINE SPECIALISTS. We are trained to treat more complex patients and are very skilled at co-coordinating care amongst different specialties.Unfortunately, Internal Medicine doctors will become extinct in the near future since many medical school students opt for higher paying specialties. According to Medical Economics, 50% of small (5 or less physician) practices will close in the next 5 years. CORPORATE and HOSPITAL controlled health care will rule the future. Goodbye Dr. Welby. Hello Wall Street. Medical costs will continue to skyrocket.
