I need a GP and a Vet in my day to day ...
The GP to sew me up when I get an owie
The Vet to keep my puppy up to date
My GP and I have not seen eye to eye for 20 years but he is starting to come around ... first with my diet and then with politics... hell of a nice guy and good with stitches (my most common visit with him) and he takes cash, hates Obamacare
I think next time I go see him I’ll bring him a Sixpack and a Dozen Eggs, 20 years ago he would have taken that as an insult, today I think it would garner a smile.

In a pinch one could substitute for the other so both handy to have around. Considering what a dozen eggs costs now, he might be very happy.
There is a huge change in coding coming to the health industry on October 1. Med students and brand new doctors will probably do fine because their training has included coding and data input. Older docs who believe in a strong relationship with their patients and rely on experience and visual cues are going to have difficulty. Every symptom will have a number and those numbers will add up to a government defined treatment plan. I can see the time when we will all be sitting down in front of a computer, filing out a form ourselves and bean counters behind the scene will have already defined what we need without any personal input from an experienced Medical Doctor. A Ben Carson as Surgeon General could certainly go a long way toward stopping this madness called Obamacare this is ruining one of the best medical systems in the entire world.
