Physician frustration, alienation, and chronic suppressed anger


"the near-future world of 78 million aged Baby Boomers, many
suffering some degree of cognitive impairment, demanding high-quality
and personal attention from a scant number of primary care physicians.
Imagine the frustration of trying to provide effective medical care to an
elderly patient who lacks the support and sympathy of a functional, loving,
and close-knit family. This is primary care in twenty-first-century
America, and we have a very big problem on our hands."
