Abstract

I graduated from medical school in 1957. I first went into hospital practice for three and a half years, and then went to Africa for five years before returning to Holland to resume practicing as a Family Physician. I have also participated in the postgraduate training and education for family doctors in Amsterdam. Currently, there are approximately 2,300 patients in my practice which is about average for a Dutch physician. Ten percent of those patients are over the age of sixty-five.
