When I chose my PCP I made sure that he did rounds in the hospital (of course I already knew that since that is where I met him  ) |
That is very good advice. Back in the day in my home town of Winchester, VA all the Doctors had Hospital privileges. Couldn't tell you today if my Doctor does (who needs a hospital LOL) Never heard the word hospitalist until recently. When I move down there I'll make sure to get a Hospital Doc. Thanks.
