Re: Have you encountered difficulty findings a new primary care physician,
Kahuna,
I cant presume to speak for all of them but keepeng privledges does obligate you to meetings, committees and such. This is the reason for some. Only so many hours in a day.
Additionally, it is suprising how fast you can get behind in medicine. Seeing only a couple or few patients in a year definately gets you behind in the nformation/technology/practice part of things in an inpatient setting. That definately increases the liability issues.
That being said, some choose to do exactly what you describe. Privledges are not necessary though for social visits to check up on a patient.
Great questions btw.
