[Fwd: NYTimes.com: Retro Medicine: Doctors Making House Calls (for a Price)]

[Guest guest]

The linked NYTimes article this morning mentions micropractices. It's in a

mid-article paragraph, and I believe was a statement linked to a AAFP person.Nothing major otherwise in the article I think. Just that a company has docs

all around the country who make house-calls for $250-450. No long-term

relationship, just an " urgent care " mentality in response to modern

American health-care. Actually, I think it's a great idea for business

travelers at hotels. But I think it's an awful idea for people to call for

such appts to their real home and not have a reasonable primary care physician to

turn to.Tim--------------------------------- Original
