Thank you for the clarity. I think, though, that those ideas that you crystallized a bit are, by nature, antithetical to EM, because EM training and practice is one patient at a time - it is necessarily micro. Systemic problems, are, by definition, macro problems. When the "family plan" comes in, we have to examine every single patient, even if they will all have the same dx of "URI", even though, to be very frank, we are trained and experienced enough to know the diagnosis without examining all of them. But, that's where the "devil is in the details". Someone who wants to be in "Social EM" would be better served with an MPH or MSW. It's like being the arsonist and the firefighter (stole that from last night's rerun of "Blue Bloods"). You can't, with fidelity, sell bullets and bulletproof vests. "Social EM" is trends, and "trends" are not individual patients, which is for what we specialize for 3-4 years, and practice after that.
