Message: [QUOTE="buddy, post: 3595461, member: 3489"] The problem for patients with the academic system is that one often does not have one doctor for the entire treatment if it is prolonged. They have to rotate off clinical services to do research. teaching. Perhaps travel to meetings, conferences off site. The care can at times be fragmented. I am not saying it is wrong but for some instances it is not ideal. Most doctors keep up with medical education as a lifetime commitment. I am not arguing with you as I have been in academics my whole life, but one can get excellent care in a nonacademic setting. [/QUOTE]
