Belindita has a spectacular aura about
"Internal Medicine" or "Family Practice" - Which doctor to choose?

I need to find a family doctor. I know there are doctors specializing in Family Practice and other specializing in Internal Medicine. What is the main difference between both specialties?
P.S. I don't have children and I do have a Gynecologist.

Family Practice covers all areas of medicine. Internal medicine is an adult primary care physician, they do not cover pediatrics or OB/GYN. So if you are looking for a doctor for yourself, choose either, but women will still need a separate gynecologist if they choose the internal med doctor.
If you want a doctor for both yourself and your children, then choose the family practice doc.

The family doctor can take care of most minor problems that you may develop. If he can't, he'll refer you to a specialist. And "internist" is a specialist for complicated organic illnesses like severe systemic infections and strokes.

You need a family practitioner.
