Have you ever asked if your doctor has a doctor?

According to a study published years ago by Yale researchers in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a third of American doctors do not have a regular doctor, a ratio much higher than for the overall population. As many as 18 percent of Americans do not have a regular source of health care.

The study found that pediatricians were the most likely to have a doctor, while internists, pathologists and surgeons were much less likely to have a regular doctor.

That should tell us something.

Wishing you much love and much light.
