First sentence: Big Doctoring is about a way of medical life, an approach to health care and healing, a skill set, and a mind set that is called primary care.
Description: "Mullan traveled the United States interviewing dozens of primary care practitioners - family physicians, internists, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants - about their lives and their work. He shows how, during the last forty years, the primary care movement has emerged, built on the principles of "big doctoring" - coordinated, comprehensive care over time."--BOOK JACKET.
