[edit] Comment regarding "holistic view"

The article currently states: Because of the nature of problems presented to a primary care physician, he/she has to keep a holistic view of the patient, investigating carefully if the problem presented can be managed by reassurance and symptomatic treatment or by intervention. I'm removing that statement. The job of a primary care provider is to treat or refer to a secondary care provider if he or she is unable to treat. Edwardian 08:53, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Diabetes

removed type 2 from after Diabetes Mellitus. Primary care docs commonly treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetics.
