do family docs do a residency???

Absolutely. Three years (The shortest there is) after medical school. Most importantly, they actually see sick people. It cannot be overstated the necessity of have contact with actual honest to god sick patients. 80 hours a week 50 weeks a year for 3 years. Current grads take some heat now from the older doctors because it used to be more like 120 hours a week.

What is most important is not the time, but the quality of the encounter. Not that any DC would claim knowledge of this subject, but how many pictures of a gun shot wound to the chest do you have to have to look at to be able to treat a dying person with a gunshot wound. I would be delighted to take some of these anti-doctor posters into my emergency room trauma bay *for ten minutes* and watch them lose their minds.
