I think a PCP has an important role and is helpful to have on your roster. If you don’t have one, who do you go to for say a respiratory infection or cough?
I would also say that if you don’t think your PCP is helpful, maybe time to shop for a new PCP. Not to knock older PCP’s but they can be more traditional and “basic”. Newer PCP’s should not only treat but promote wellness. I like my PCP (she’s newer to me after a couple of PCP’s I didn’t really vibe with) as someone who helps me identify and triage both concerns and wellness. She is sort of the “organizer” of my health care and any specialists branch off from that.
