Glad that's not my doc
I got into a debate with a physician friend over the hols about whether docs should care about nutrition. My view: it’s a missed opp to talk to patients about an actionable change we can make. Them: it’s not our job. The patient can see a nutritionist. Where do you stand?

“It’s not our job.” I would have asked, “so what IS your job?” Would be curious to hear them summarize the role of a PCP in one or two sentences
