It is no surprise that primary care medicine,as traditionally practiced, is on life support. I am a solo practice Internist in a rural setting, with a local hospital that has employed everyone else. What are the rest of you in this same situation doing to lower the water level in the boat? Looking for discussion and creative ideas. I don't like what I see on the horizon. I do not want to sell out and become employed. 28 years in practice and holding on.
