Do I like the pace of this type of practice?
How does a doctor learn more about his/her patients’ personal lives?
How is this knowledge factored into the patients' care?
What factors seem to play into how the patients respond to the doctor?
What did the doctor do when s/he didn’t know the answer to something?
How do I feel when:

there is no “cure” or treatment options? when I see patients who don’t listen to advice?
