I am frequently asked: What is Internal Medicine? The answer: "I am the doctor for adults" or I am the primary care physician", just doesn't seem to cover it. I think this poem from the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) does:
Today I Saw
diabetes in a brown pantsuit
recently widowed, bringing her daughter
for the first time.
Bladder cancer still working
full time after surgery
