I am in my 42nd year of practice. When I was in my residency in the late '70s, we were told that our great virtue in family medicine was in fact continuity of care and knowing all members in the family unit which would benefit our treatment of all. I have had the honor of taking care of newborns and their at time their children. I have been able to take care of grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren. We are jacks of all trades but masters of continuity and the understanding that comes from the care of all in the family. I pray that future generations of our specialty will have the same privilege and will understand the value of it!
