“It's a new field. It's the fastest-growing medical specialty,” he said. “It started in larger towns, and it's beginning to be more popular.”
Having a hospitalist is similar to having a primary care doctor at the hospital, Hardcastle said.
“We only work in the hospital. We don't have an outside practice,” he said.
“We see patients when they come through the emergency room or when they go to the doctor and are sent to the hospital. Sometimes we see each patient twice a day.”
