Barken (health policy, Ithaca College) draws from research and his experience as a primary care physician to illustrate how the practice of primary care is failing due to the trends of efficiency, profit, and productivity, which contributed to his retiring from the profession. He discusses doctors' habits of overprescribing, expensive referrals to multiple specialists, and the lack of accessibility to care, and the need for compassionate, high-quality care. He identifies problems in geriatric care, the standardization of medicine, medical training, malpractice and defensive medicine, compensation, and the need for house calls.
