Even though im fp, we still call ourselves gp.
Coz gp got pride.

But the $150 bucks per fp specialist consult?
Back pain? U can do op? U can tens? U can physio?
-tbh i just nsaids and mc nia.
Hypertension u know how to investigate for secondary causes? You know how to interpret aldo renin?
-i just try 1-2 anti htn. If need 3 or more or hypoK i send out alr to investigate
Dm u know how to manage type 1? Insulin pump? U know how to counsel for glp1?
-brittle type 2 and type 1 i will refer out

So i dont understand why we need so many qualifications and fm specialist coz gp is supposed to be for the masses.

For the people and keep care accessible

Ideas concern and expectation can only work so far.
1mile wide, 1inch deep. Cannot be helped

I always refer out when it is neccessary.
But just fearing the $150 consult for gp will worsen the situation and access to care
me notch the one comment on your engrish. I'm prolly went to same lousy school as you.
pls la, pple talking about giving fcfp specialist status and u think ur gdfm qualify u for specialist registration? eyes roll. hello. wake up.

sorry hor. imho gdfm shouldn't even be given fp status. . let's not kid ourselves.
across most countries , fam med or general practice as it's called in commonwealth countries it's at least a 3 year supervised program. fcfp is another 2 years to m.med. ur gdfm part time 2 year with tutorial once a quarter can only teach u so much. u think GD derm makes u a dermatologist ah. best to call a spade a spade. like you say, gp 就是 gp. trust me, I'm with u on this. no one is thinking of giving u specialist status and insisting u charge 150 bucks.

recognising fam med as a speciality is what the fraternity is after. no one is doing it to earn more because like you we also believe in accessible care for the masses.
gdfm m.med, fcfp fp will be what they are, family physician first .
as a speciality, the expert in their field should be accorded and recognised,
those who have fcfp should have added tittle of family medicine specialist.

get it or not?
