The word "doctor" means "teacher," in Latin. The best primary care physicians will be master teachers and students.
From Pediatrics in Review Jan 2011:
"When performing health maintenance or managing chronic illness, teaching becomes a major component of care. Patients, parents, and caregivers are the students (although the complete physician will be learning constantly from those folks as well)."
Look for a physician that helps you learn and also is willing to listen to you.
