Family medicine is neither the most prestigious nor the highest paid medical profession. This graph illustrates that the benefit of long-term GP-patient relationships is even dose-dependent (longer GP-patient-relationship = lower risk of dying prematurely): Why do long-term GP-patient relationships improve health and reduce costs?

December 2020. So many times, family caregivers have to argue with their loved ones about getting more help in the home or moving them to a place that has safety, has close proximity to medical care.
