[quote=Anonymous]If and when my internist decides to go this route, I may quit.  I am healthy with no chronic conditions that need to be followed by the same human being.   I think that's key.

Has anyone else noticed the explosion of walk-in doctors and free-standing clinics around town?  They make so much sense for people like me.   Would I love to sit around and chat about my health with a internist for 30 minutes? Of course, but I don't NEED that.  My father does and my chronically ill husband does, but since I do not, it's a huge waste of $3,000 that I don't have to spare.

(that of course could change; people's health needs obviously evolve over the years)

At this time, I am a good candidate for those doc-in-a-box clinics.  Sign in, say "ah,"  do rapid strep test, wait 10 minutes, get anitbiotics for strep throat, leave.

FWIW, my bestest friend in the world is an internist and she agrees with me.  My sickly DH needs to be followed by a consistent internist, and I don't at this time.  [/quote]
