This is the doctor before you need the hospital

The GP is usually the one who gets to know a patient, and their family, over the years, enabling them to pick up on warning signs of illnesses before they become serious enough to need the specialist. (This visual is human-created, AI-aided)

There is a familiar scene in almost every GP (general practitioner) clinic: “Doctor, I just came for an MC (medical certificate).”

Five minutes later, the doctor discovers that the patient has not taken his blood pressure medicine for months, his sugar has not been checked in a year, and the “slight chest discomfort” he casually mentions has actually been troubling him since yesterday.
