But thankfully, I remembered one of my favorite medical school professors who said how important history is in a diagnosis. He said nothing else matters as much as a good history from the patient. I shed my trepidation and gave it a brave shot, and I’ve never looked back. I absolutely enjoy it. I enjoy not only the urgent care but also the primary care side of it. I also enjoy that I am showing up at patients’ homes nationwide rather than having them coming to my office at a Houston clinic. I love that so many patients know me by my name and choose an appointment with me, whether it’s an urgent care or a primary care issue. It is a truly fulfilling moment for a physician.&quot; Sabari L. Sundarraj is a family medicine physician.
