General Practioner
The GP is all-round: he treats a wide variety of health problems, from young to old. The general practitioner looks at the medical, social and psychological functioning. He looks beyond a diseased organ, and is able to notice the whole of less-functioning patients more quickly because he knows his patient’s life and family atmosphere. This gives general medicine a great added value.
