Yet how much is really known about primary care? \u003ci\u003eWhat Matters in Medicine: Lessons from a Life in Primary Care\u003c\/i\u003e is a look at the past, present, and future of general practice, which is not only the predecessor to the modern primary care movement, but its foundation. Through memoir and conversation, Dr. David Loxterkamp reflects on the heroes and role models who drew him to family medicine and on his many years in family practice in a rural Maine community, and provides a prescription for change in the way that doctors and patients approach their shared contract for good health and a happy life. This book will be useful to those on both sides of primary care, doctors and patients alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Loxterkamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 047211865X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472118656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"David Loxterkamp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980971737343,"sku":"9780472118656","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d45fac39-e05c-405a-9f5b-4326f13613a1.jpg?v=1683252959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-matters-in-medicine-david-loxterkamp-9780472118656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
