My First Consult

I got today my first physician-patient encounter. It was a home visit, arranged of course through my dad. It pays to be the son of a doctor. I will not go into details due to confidentiality issues. And no, we don't have HIPAA.
I would only say that it went well, and was a bit more like a geriatric consult as opposed to palliative care.
Finally, I am starting to feel a little important, and helpful.
This feeling didn't last long as I sat with some "wiser" acquaintances later in the day and listened to how corrupt and fraudulent lots of things are in the medical community at least. I may talk about that in more details later.
