The life of a family doctor is engaged with the people, families, and community he or she serves. Caring changes lives. Yet, we seldom have the opportunity to hear the gratitude or to reflect upon the privilege. In this essay, two family doctors share the experience of seeing a community celebrate the life of their doctor. In these public reflections on their personal doctor, folks reveal how he saw their needs, understood their fears, and partnered with them to create futures. Their stories are compelling evidence that personal doctoring is alive and well and held deeply in the heart of America.
家庭医生的生活与他或她所服务的人群、家庭和社区息息相关。关爱改变生活。然而,我们很少有机会听到感激之情,也很少有机会反思这种特权。在这篇文章中,两位家庭医生分享了他们看到一个社区为他们的医生庆祝生命的经历。在这些对他们私人医生的公开反思中,人们揭示了他们的医生如何看到他们的需求,理解他们的恐惧,并与他们合作创造未来。他们的故事有力地证明了私人医疗服务在美国仍然存在,并深深地扎根于美国人的心中。
