I had never heard of Dr. Welby, let alone seen the TV show.  Dr. Klasko says that this expectation is part of the great lament among Babyboomer MDs about how the profession has changed for the worse, i.e. not being the Dr. Welby-like experience they thought it would be.   Why does this matter?  Well, Babyboomers rule the world (at least the United States.)  As a Gen Xer, I will admit this is partially generational envy, but at least it is envy based in demographic facts.  Babyboomers make up by far the majority in most professions, including medicine and by virtue of experience, etc. they are also in the most leadership positions.  For physicians, this cohort also fits more closely to historical stereotypical perception of physicians- male, white, etc.  Babyboomers are also retiring later in life; meaning that we can look forward to a Boomer led healthcare system for some time into the future.   So as customers of healthcare of any generation, knowing who is providing your care can assist in how we manage our care.  An example from another industry might be buying a car.  Questioning a car salesman is expected.  There would be no hard feelings if you were to go to another dealer to get a second opinion.  Your physician may need to have his/her ego stroked while asking questions so that you not only get them to spend the time to answer them but also so as not to offend him/her.  Getting a second opinion is a wise course of action, but should be handled delicately to ensure best outcome.  ?Physicians stick together? is something I have personally experienced.   ?   Mark  ?   Belyakov
