I think the best solution is not to rely on just the family medicine
doctor. That doctor should be the central point of your health care
who refers you on to doctors who specialize. One doctor cannot be
informed and current on everything. Unfortunately, many people can't
afford or their insurance won't cover the cost of multiple doctors.
