Me: “Mrs. Anderson, have you been taking your Lasix since I last saw you?” (Note her severe pedal edema and recent hospitalization for CPE). Her: “NO!” Me: “Now, Mrs. Anderson, why have you not taken your Lasix?” (This was the same problem the last 5 clinic visits). Her: “mehhhhh it makes me pee a lot!” Me: internally I could imagine someone who only does clinic 5 days per week, 9-5, and get absolutely burnt out with this within a few years. At least in other specialties you have an opportunity to see a more diverse patient population, diverse arrays of conditions in the acute and non-acute setting, and do a greater array of procedures (at least for me, personally). Not to say you can’t in FM, but clinic-wise it’s a lot. Now, some people would find purpose and joy in the above setting, and that’s great. But certainly not everyone.

Applying for Family Medicine right now, and watching this video comforts me in my decision 🙂 All his reasons for not going into FM... are *my* reasons for running to it! I love the diversity of the field, and the freedom to decide or modify the kind of practice you want to have in different stages of your life. I don't see myself treating the same organ system or group of pathologies all my life, I like to follow the patient as a whole, never knowing what they're consulting me for and having a wide range of possibilities to investigate. And clinic appeals to me more than procedures 😅

Surgeons are different, especially the ones in Gen surge. Some are super competitive, some are super Type A, some are like her (toxic), and some are compulsive. Most are a combination of the above. We had an ACLS course, and there was a surgeon taking it amongst EM docs and RNs. She was super compulsive, super “what is up with these people” sorta deal, but boy did she know her shit! Idk if I had a bad liver lac I’d want her treating me with that mentality.

IM doctor here. It can be very gratifying knowing you still know a bit about everything and (if your really good) you actually know what you are talking about. This is pretty special if you consider the incredibly vast amount of information that covers the entire human body and all of its pathologies. FM is even more broad, if you keep up your scope of practice including pediatric patients, possibly even OB and GYN or even some minor surgical procedures. The pay per hour, don't kid yourself, is nowhere near a lot of specialists but it can be high if you work hard and put in a lot of hours. I work 60+ hours each weak and cleared 330K last year. Primary care is massively understaffed and many doctors have quit these last couple years, and health systems are raising rates for primary care doctors. Pediatrics and FM usually earn slightly lower. treating children usually comes with a pay cut as unfortunately a lot of children come in with younger parents who are on Medicaid.

I think KJ tends to rate the specialities on the variety inherent in the types of diseases you treat and the procedures you do, but it seems to me that the variety in family med mostly comes from dealing with people, which really provide infinite variety if you do it well. Good family physicians KNOW people and are good with them. That's not a technical skill, that, to me, is an art. My hat is off to all of you family medicine people, a good GP is worth their weight in gold.

Prestige is an interesting reason to bash FM. Do you want prestige from your colleagues or from patients? For the former, as a resident myself, my respect goes to any physician who is good at what they do/teaching/bedside manner/teamwork, REGARDLESS of their specialty. Like literally 0% of my day-to-day cognitive minutes are spent awing over a doc who is in conventionally competitive services (e.g. Plastics, neurosgx, etc). For the latter, I would argue family doctors would get the MOST respect. A. They have the most face time and rapport (thus trust) with patients and B. Patients treated by the "respected" specialties are often too sick to give a shit about/comprehend whose seeing them. Prestige I think is a moot point lol
