The author discusses the general practitioner's difficult role of working for the best of the individual patient and at the same time being obliged to follow rules and regulations that limit this role. Attention is drawn to the particularly difficult task of defending the patient's interests, parallel to checking the patient for the social insurance system. Doctors in general, and general practitioners in particular, cannot avoid working with different and to some extent contradictory objectives.
作者讨论了全科医生所面临的困境，即一方面要为个体患者谋求最大利益，另一方面又不得不遵循那些限制其作用的规章制度。文中提到，在为社会保险系统核查患者情况的同时，维护患者利益这一任务尤为艰巨。总体而言，医生，尤其是全科医生，不可避免地要带着不同且在某种程度上相互矛盾的目标开展工作。
