DB gives primary care some respect. “We could solve this problem if we aligned the incentives towards primary care, rather than away from primary care. Primary care physicians are underpaid – relative to their colleagues – and have to work very hard, long hours. They get little respect within the medical community – and yet they deserve the utmost respect because (in my opinion) they truly have the most challenging profession.”
