I thank Dr Nicholas Pimlott for such a meaningful editorial in these difficult times.1 It is instructive that change in practice has occurred at blinding speed when so often it seems to take forever to integrate practice improvements. We can hope that new practices that have proven good for patients will be retained after the crisis resolves. We can also hope that better payment methods than fee-for-service will be adopted universally to enable family physicians to serve their communities optimally and be appropriately compensated.
