Proud to announce I am this year’s recipient of the Maine Primary Care Association’s Carol Eckert MD Award, formerly family practice doctor of the year. Ceremony at the Samoset Resort 10/5/22. Full version of abbreviated (4 minute) acceptance speech to be posted online at acountrydoctorwrites.blog that day.
I just realized none of the posts show on an iPad or a computer, but they do show on an iPhone. WordPress is working on this. In the meantime, please visit my Substack.
Osler said “Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis”. Duvefelt says “Listen to your patient, he is telling you what kind of doctor he needs you to be”.
