I enjoy General Medicine because of the broad range of people and conditions that we look after every day. It provides me with a career which addresses longitudinal care for people with chronic disease as well as the challenge of looking after people with acute illness, often while sorting out diagnostic dilemmas, multiple disease processes along with complex social situations. No other specialty presents this variety of work.
General Medicine also is often the engine room for much of the teaching in our hospitals. The thing I like best is when the patients and their families thank me for talking to them, often with the words “no-one else explained this to me”.
