This practice is sick: a teaching case.
A case history of a family practice illustrates some of the difficulties of providing health care in an era of changing economic realities. Although some of the problems appear obvious and easily solved, the physicians in the practice may well be hesitant to invest more time in its operation, despite recognition that such an investment would pay off.
