honestly I don't see what primary care that a nurse cannot do. primary care 50yrs ago did not have as much access to imaging and specialists. so they percussed to determine if u had pneumonia. they actually tried to work up an appendicitis. and they often did PROCEDURES. colonoscopy or even appendectomies.. but today it's a glorified nurse...

now these are the fields that actually provide very rare service:

cardio: any imaging or procedures that they do is offlimits to anybody else. you feel dizzy, u have a murmur, even a nurse can send u to a cardiologist. need a pacemaker, who else is going to do it? aortic valve replacement=about 100cardiologists in usa do it, nobody else.

any surgical subspecialty: it's obvious ophtho or ortho or ent is offlimits to anybody else. people will pay cash for a hip replacement if they have to.

derm: again even a nurse can tell u u got a wart, but only a derm will freeze it(and it will take him 1minute instead of doing a "history&physical".

but all those specialties are offlimits to me:( I think about radio because it's the closest to something like cardio. but I wouldn't go through 3yrs of IM residency just to start a cardio fellowship. that's too much trouble.
