Doctors feel your pain! MDVIP today released the results of a national study which highlights the ill effects of America's broken healthcare system on primary care physicians.👨🏼‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️ Long waits for appointments that end up short and impersonal is not only frustrating patients – but stressing doctors, too.
