Abstract
I graduated in 1975, and practiced family medicine for seventeen years before I left to teach full time in the medical school where I am now. I still spend one day a week in the practice of another family physician. When I had my own practice, I cared for 2,500 patients. In the first years of my practice 15–20% of my patients were over sixty-five because a new private housing facility for the elderly had just been finished in my part of the city and I became their physician.
