They are the first ones a patient confides in on experiencing unusual symptoms.
It is the responsibility of the family doctor to ensure that they take care of their patient's physical, mental as well as emotional wellbeing. Whether you have a bladder infection or a flu virus, the go-to resource is the family doctor. He will be managing common complaints, diagnosing emerging conditions, and overseeing preventative care. While there are some similarities between primary care and family medicine specialists, the latter has an unprecedented opportunity to impact the health of the patient over their entire lifetime. Family Doctors are responsible for taking care of the patient's lives in the context of their family and community.
