Surviving primary care

This New Jersey doctor talks about the demise of primary care in New Jersey, which is endemic nationwide.

Here’s the extent that some of his primary care colleagues go through to stay afloat:

“Renting out space to specialists and by venturing into cosmetic surgery and other cash businesses. The primary care portion of his practice loses money each year.”

“I bought property and made investments that enable me to survive without continuing to make a big salary.”

Boy, does that sound appealing to today’s medical students.
