I’m a trauma surgeon and I 100% could not do what a PCP does. Full stop.

Wearing a mask on a plane is an easy way to help reduce illness/Covid exposure, protect my patient & all my amazing colleagues at @aafp #aafplead

@DGlaucomflecken I remember being told that family med was an “optional rotation” by some colleagues at their med schools and some places didn’t even have a family med rotation???

Can you imagine if that was the case with other medical specialties???

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

@DGlaucomflecken I rotated through family med as a student and I remember being so overwhelmed at how overwhelmed the doc was (patients backed up, tons of paperwork, etc) but he was one of the sweetest docs & his patients loved him. Family med deserves more love/respect from the medical community

A heart transplant patient came to clinic: a thriving medical miracle.

He stopped himself in the middle of describing some minor aches and pains and said, "Irritation is the luxury of a healthy person."

Now adopted as one of #kittlesonrules.

#TipsForNewDocs

Strive to glean a nonmedical fact from every patient.
From a 70M, I learned that he met his wife at the age of 5 and married her at 18.

Just one new fact and, a patient with a disease becomes a person!

“Female PCPs receive 24% more staff messages (9.6 messages/month), and 26% more patient messages (51.5 messages/month) than their male counterparts.” 🤯🤯🤯
