Windsor It is not a waste of my time or the patient's time to talk about nutrition, pain control, or to just be a listening ear. It seems I can't even see a female internist in Santa Rosa if I wanted to. I have two choices of female family practice doctors. I just find it so unbelievable that an organization could fire such a wonderful doctor. We will find other doctors, but not folks like these.
Policy makers are very out of touch with needs of doctors and patients.
It is unconscionable that a physician with his skills and genuine concern for his patients' well being should be forced out of his practice in the name of efficiency. The expectations for a caring physician to see 36 patients a day is unconsionable. There have been other younger physicians who have moved from Santa Rosa because of the pressure from medical groups to see 36 patients a day. I am truly fearful about what will happen in the medical world if this practice continues. The huge, medical conglomerates would have Dr. Brosbe spend eight minutes per office visit on each patient.
