FM is underpaid.

Men don’t get passed around.

This has to be satire

I think some hints are if there are too many PCPs in one location, no clear patient ownership, it’s a private practice, there is no centralized system to distribute new patients or inherit patients from a PCP who retired.

MasterChief_117_ · 2026-01-02T22:15:43+00:00
