Are primary care doctors expected to talk to their patients about too many things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Matter of perspectiv: The function of a primary care physician is to maintain and/or improve patients' quality and quantity of life through the practice of preventative medicine and to manage chronic health issues based on the latest research. And, of course, take care of coughs and colds, too.
