If you have heart problems you see a Cardiologist. If you need surgery on it, see a CT surgeon.
If your abdomen is bothering you, you see a GI doc. If it warrants surgery you see a general surgeon.
If your eye is irritated and bothering you, you see an Ophthalmologist. If you need surgery, you see an Ophthalmologist. Same goes for Ob-Gyn, Urology, and ENT.
Long story short, if there is no medical counterpart, it is a medicine surgery mix. It's NOT the same as just having a clinic, everyone in medicine has a clinic. I pretty much agree with the previous posters, this elusive mix was exactly what I was looking for in a field as well and after rotations was able to get a better handle on what specialties qualified.
