assessed, evaluated, treated, had a plan for follow-up care that was discussed between the physician, the nurse, the patient and the family, and was discharged appropriately.

A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.

[It's] a model that the nurse-midwife provides total care to her patient and yet has backup in an emergency situation. If you're doing it at home, you would not have the backup of the hospital.

New generation always brings this statement "Who cares?" I guess they should ask the nurses, they know the answer.

The bottom line: health care reform is about the patient, not about the physician.

Depending on your culture, you can make physician which treats you feel himself like a veterinarian.
