The government has always been stressing on the importance of primary/holistic care and the importance of good family physicians/internist. However, I don't seem to sense that in daily practice.
When I am doing GM posting, we seem to be referring the whole world for all the minor problems that pt has, and pt can end up with 4-5 tcus on discharge.
Currently doing Ed, now getting loads of referrals for minor complaints from gps/polyclinic (eg blood sugar 20, dizziness etc)

Anyone has any thoughts on this?
