Indeed, but I think you are the new generalist... We have our "pet" general
physician/renal physician locally who gets our "what the heck is going on
here pts" but don't tell him that!

Subject: Does anyone else 'lament' the passing of the general physician??
Had a chap in the last few days where I really have no idea what is going on
and he has so many complaints I cannot see the wood for the trees. (Many may
say that I often have no clue about waht is going on!!). In the dim and
distant past one could refer to a general physician who would get their
teeth into things. These days unless you direct carefully, they bounce back
with 'not our territory'.
Do others miss the 'generalist??'. What do you do in this situation?? i have
suggested to this patinet that he goes privatly in the first instance -
first to see a Neurologist and then to possibly see a rheumatologist as he
has complaints that you could say were linked to either
speciality.Neurologists do seem to think outside of their box more than
others - or is it just my experience here??
