I have just learnt it is the American version of the term, so naturally it doesnât make sense. I was hoping it would help distinguish âgeneral practitionerâ (GP/family doctor) with âgeneral physicianâ (medical specialist) which are commonly confused, even until recently by myself.

TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨days⊠agowtf is âinternal medicineâ? Isnât all medicine internal to some degree? Or is this a euphemism? Cos if so I missed the email.

Itâs when they shrink down the doctor so they are really tiny so they can examine you from the inside. Very expensive due to danger pay, if they take a wrong turn they can accidentally disolve themselves in stomach acid.
