The final figure claims less than 0.3 general practitioners per 100,000. That would amount to around 1000 general practitioners in the country which is at least two orders of magnitude low.
- georgieporgie 16y ago> at least two orders of magnitude low. You're saying there are 100,000 general practitioners in the US? Even that number may be low, as this WSJ article says the US has "352,908 primary-care doctors". The article also says there are around 954,000 total doctors in the US.
- jedbrown 16y agoI said "at least" instead of giving a more precise number exactly because the WSJ's "primary-care" statistic included "general practitioners, internists, family physicians and pediatricians" and I remembered seeing an older statistic claiming only a bit more than 100k general practitioners.
