Hello from Denver where the annual meeting of the ASRM is being held. American Society for Reproductive Medicine that it. Well it seems that this is the meeting where I will be unable to keep my big mouth shut. Yesterday at the Practice Retreat for the members of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinologists I spoke my piece about practice size. As a 3rd generation physician I feel strongly that the patient-doctor relationship must be at the center of all care. So that is why we try to do as many sonograms as possible on our own patients and ditto the egg collections and embryo transfers. That doesn't mean that practices where the RE rarely sees the patient don't have good success rates, but in speaking for myself I would not like to practice in such an environment when there is the opportunity to practice as I have at Dominion for the past 11 1/2 years. It seems that many of the practices represented are unable to offer that approach and I thank my lucky stars every day for my good fortune.
Obviously there are economies of scale and one physician from Boston indicated that he believed that 4 physicians is close to ideal. Well, let's see....Dr D, Dr G, Dr Reh and Dr Payson (for some weekend coverage)....I gotta agree.
Tune in for my next post and learn how DrG was surprised to find himself surrounded by thousands of zombies on 16th Street on Saturday PM.
