I've never heard of a physician doing that in this day and age. I think she's on the leading edge of a trend. She started a practice many years ago with one other doctor and the practice grew over the years. She left the practice after about ten years and followed some other interests (kids, teaching at a nearby medical school, Asian medicine) because she felt she couldn't give the kind of care she wanted in that format. A couple of years ago she started a new practice. We discussed it at the time and my sense is that she's not the only one doing this. When I go to see her, there's no one else in the waiting room, which is a very Zen kind of place. The only other patients I see are the one coming out and the one coming in when I leave. We talk until we both have said everything that needs to be said. If she needs to do some research, she does it while I'm still here so that when I leave, there's nothing hanging. I can't tell you how dramatic the difference is. I will be relocating fairly soon so I will need to find out from her how I find someone like her somewhere else. I don't want to ever have to go back to the old way. Karen
