06/30/11: Dr. Frederick M. Barken is a primary care physician. He practiced solo Internal Medicine in Tompkins County for nearly 25 years, until unfavorable trends in US health care policy made that practice no longer a possibility.
Upon leaving practice he set out to write about his professional experiences and to record his reflections on the practice of primary care medicine. Using personal anecdotes accumulated over a quarter-century of care, he reminds us of the central role of the physician-patient relationship as the cornerstone of American health.
The result is his new book, Out Of Practice: Fighting For Primary Care Medicine In America.

If only there were more....
Dr. Barkin is, unfortunately, a rare find in the medical field (at least in much of my experience). Thank you, both Tish and Dr. Barkin, for speaking some wonderful truths about healthcare and what is really needed.
And his recommendation for rating/evaluation of professionals in the healthcare field is perfect: connectedness. Of course, if we feel connected to our provider, we will take more responsibility ourselves to work with him/her to achieve optimal health. Breaks my heart that he is no longer practicing. But gives me hope, when I know people like him are continuing to spread the truth. Thank you, both of you, for this hope.
