Abstract
The year is 2001-just 3 years from now and the true beginning of the new millennium. It turns out that computers do not practice medicine, physicians still do. Primary care physicians are no longer called "gatekeepers" (which made it sound as if they fixed rusty hinges). They are both numerous and popular because they see the big picture, the whole patient and they don't restrict the flow of patients to specialists. Many take care of entire families.
