I am disturbed by the current trend in our healthcare system of large corporations, both nonprofit and for profit, taking over the practice of medicine. The notion of the family doctor, who was there for you and your family, is going away. The family doctor has been replaced by large clinics. These clinics require doctors to meet certain “patient metrics” limiting your doctor’s ability to practice medicine. The doctors are forced to practice medicine for the sake of the large organization at your expense.
