answer:it depends on what I’m in search for….if I need a doctor for a specialized task (eye, ear, throat doctor) for some sort of infection then obviously I’d go see him. however if I just need a basic check up I’d probably go see a family practitioner. I’m not really sure what you’re referring to though. The advantage of seeing someone who is highly focussed in a specific field would be that his opinion or advice can be taken seriously because he knows exactly what he is talking about and deals with on a daily basis. The advantage I suppose a family doctor might have would be a more relaxed environment, you probably won’t pay as much for his service as you would for a specialized doctor. I’m not quite sure why I chose to compare doctors for your particular question…but curious…what was it you were referring to, if anything in particular?
