I recently completed an elective in FP and really enjoyed, but I still don't really like doing health care for the elderly. I'd much rather do ob and peds, but in reality what FP out there really is able to ignore that population, espeically if going rural?? I like the practicality of FP because your knowledge base is so broad, but it also scares me that I wouldn't be able to handle really sick children. It seems that most FP residents aren't bothered much by geriatrics, but I really dread going in to see Mrs. Jones that is 88 with a huge list of meds and endless PMHx. Is FP not for me then?? Thoughts and criticisms are more than welcome.
