Why Dysphoric?
How can I not be...? I am a general internist practicing in Northern Manhattan. I take care of patients with Medicaid, uninsured pateints, immigrants, sick people, old people, and people who are living with advanced chronic disease.
The American Health care system is broken. In almost all practice settings, the demands on primary care doctors are extreme. Most patients are sick and have insurance issues or social problems or psychiatric disease, and/or 10,000 questions. We only have 10-15 minutes for each of you. If you are a primary care doctor and you aren't crazy, depressed or very very out of touch with yourself, please get in touch with me and let me know how you do it.
