Family Medicine reacts to Dr Glaucomflecken: "Family Medicine goes to therapy"

Right now, health care systems are functioning on the backs of all the family doctors who do hours of unpaid paperwork at night when they could be spending the time with their families. It’s time we stop making family doctors pay the passion tax. Pay family doctors fairly for the work we do. Recognize the value that we bring to improving patient lives and to the healthcare system. Maybe even give us Johnathans. If these changes happen, then maybe, just maybe, fewer family doctors will need to go into therapy.
