Bringing Family and Health Back into Family Medicine

Ira Pearlstine, MD

I was asked by my friend, Dr. Ajoy Kumar, to write about how I am bringing Family and Health back into Family Medicine. I have been practicing in Florida since completing my residency at Bayfront Medical Center in 1987. Since that time, I have been part of and witness to many changes in how health care is delivered.
I have seen hospitals buy practices in the 1990s only to divest of them several years later after being unable to achieve a successful model. I watched again in this decade and the last, large hospital groups buy practices and employ doctors, referring to them only as "health care providers" and not doctors, requiring them to see large numbers of patients daily in order to meet their bottom line.
