摘要:In September 2019, I will have been working
as a general practitioner (GP) in a suburb
of a major Swiss city for 5 years. It is 10
years after other GPs were starting to have
trouble finding a successor for their single
practice. Hence they were forced to close
their offices, while patients were anxiously
looking for new GPs. After being turned
down by the remaining GPs, which were
especially small numbered in rural areas,
they had to turn to the emergency departments at hospitals which
were subsequently overrun and unable to cope with the amount of
patients and rising costs.
