What is an internist you ask? An internist is someone you go to when you don't have any idea what's going on. An internist is a doctor who is devoted to not only understanding what is going on, but what else is going on through the expanded differential diagnosis. An internist is someone who makes the esoteric diagnosis you only hear about in medical school. An internist is a master of multitasking a mountain of data and internalizing and processing the possibilities and probabilities.
An internist is who you go to when everyone else has failed you. Now we can only hope the current medical economic climate prevents internists from dying a quick and painful death.
