slide 1: Location Based Services: Welcome the Family Doctors that come to you
Today trust is a very important factor in people’s minds when it
comes to medical checkups. I personally would prefer a family doctor
near me rather than a doctor whose ethics or credentials I know not
Family doctor is the general term used for family GPs General
Practitioners. In an era where more and more Doctors err in diagnosis
and more and more patients are losing valuable lives it becomes
evident to me to search for a family doctor. I have ignorant relatives
who love their doctor’s just because they prescribe costly medicines
every time This practice is unethical and immoral. Therefore I say I
will prefer a customized personalized family doctor near me.
Today in a recent survey done more than 80 people in the U.S. alone
said that a family physician is the first person they would be
comfortable to approach to convey their medical issues. Research being
done on this subject says that only one family doctor near me or about
10000 people can reduce the fatality rate by around 6.
Many times I realize that there is no need to visit the hospitals
forget ERs Emergency Rooms I can get services on demand I want
near my home with a community physician. Otherwise a lot of time and
space long travel distances are spent only to land up in the clinic
of a doctor who is a stranger to me and whose morality is in
question
There is a saying ‘Always have lawyers policemen doctors judges
and military personnel as close confidants who you can trust and who
can trust you and who are near you’
Advantages of LBS Family Doctors
slide 2: No need of Vetting
Since these docs will be already known to me there is not need
for profiling them. A family doctor near me will be well known to
the community as a whole. They need the self respect and the
goodwill of the family as a whole so they usually refrain from
unethical or immoral acts.
slide 3: Improve Raise Overall Health Standards
The fact always remains that using more primary care saves the
overall cost of healthcare. These doctors induce regular or
periodic checkups to raise overall health of the community. I
had a friend who had a serious health issue and went to a
specialist. The specialist was surprised to find his overall
health exceptional
Treating Long Term
Family doctors follow your life cycle. I have found out that
family doctors are never defectors or deserters They will stand
by your side through the thick and thin times. I have colleagues
that know their family doctors since they were born. Many times
the doctor cares for the entire family. In short my family
doctor near me knows my medical history more than me This makes
him watch red flags and make accurate diagnoses very precisely. A
disease occurring consistently among family lines can suggest for
genetic counsel.
Recommend Specialist
I have seen Doc Nancy my family physician recommend good
specialists for many community members. Since she knows their
genetic makeup so well her judgment is to be valued.

assured first line of defense against those unknown weirdo
