I read in a dusty novel that a famous pirate said there are no legacies in this life. Our lives, he said, float atop a fickle sea, and when we die, nothing remains. Many hands work the decks and, in the process, are worn, discarded, and forgotten. The sea gives, and eventually, she flushes the flotsam, leaving no monuments to souls and their adventures. Well, this is not entirely true. And, I did not actually read this in an ancient book but rather heard it recently in a tawdry Netflix movie.

As a primary care physician, the daily grind can often feel like navigating through a thick fog of productivity metrics, patient volumes, and the relentless pressure of keeping a large health system afloat. Yet, amidst this fog, there are moments of clarity, instances where I rediscover the passion that led me to medicine in the first place. For me, that moment of clarity came through an unexpected avenue – volunteering with elite athletes and Team USA.

Primary care outpatient general internal medicine is dead. Following a lengthy decline over years of languishing, it finally succumbed to terminal underappreciation and fiscal neglect. We shall never see the likes of it again. As with most good things taken for granted, it won’t be missed until it is far too late and the extinction is complete.
