This type of "generalist" specialist like Internal Medicine no head no tail one.
As everyone who has done rotations and postings knows, Internal Med is the dumping ground for things that are undifferentiated or that other departments/specialties do not want.
No money in this. The show HOUSE MD was a fantasy. No one pays doctors to think and come to diagnosis. They pay for investigations, procedures, treatment drugs and plans.
I think it would be hard to describe to a lay person what is an Internal Medicine Specialist vs a highly trained Family Medicine Specialist. (maybe the former is for adults only)
What can an Internal Medicine Specialist do that a Family Med cannot do?
