It's true, general practice is alive and well. I graduated from an American med school in 2009, did my intern year, and now have my own practice with hospital Priviledges and take all insurances. Life is great. Only problem I have had is getting Priviledges at larger hospitals that have Hospitalist groups, so they want to keep all billing for the hospital. I bill at the same rate as FPs, and I didn't have to deal with the extra 2 years of $5/hour 80 hour work weeks. I think that GPs will come back given the doctor nurse quacktioners, with on line degrees. AMA should realize that doctor nurses, PAs, are pushing PCPs doc out, and why go into PC if doctor nurses finish in half the time with their online degree? I say get real doctors out faster, GP baby😉
