Adventures of a Sick Doctor

JUNE 5, 2021

I've been neglecting this blog. But I thought about my friends and colleagues, my daily contacts and the faceless names on the hospital letters, and I thought about the pain and hurt in each of their hearts.

Some family doctors work in a residency training program where they may see patients in the hospital, out of the hospital, and deliver babies. I enjoy seeing patients for all kinds of visits as well – mental health, physicals, GYN concerns, coughs/colds, etc. Other family doctors only see patients in their clinics.
