Putting "Care" back in health care -

For over a Quarter Century

Who is ROSTI?

Hi!  I’m Richard Allen Martin, Jr., MD…Dr. “Rick” or ROSTI for short.  Why ROSTI?

 

ROSTI was the name of one of my most courageous patients in my entire time in the medical field…nearly 30 years!  Before he passed away he asked that, whenever I ordered pizza, I order it in his name to preserve his memory.

 

I’ve taken it a good bit further, so now ROSTI is memorialized on the WWW!  This one is for you, my friend, up there bouncing off the satellites.

What is AIM?

Advances In Medicine is my little pet!  I’ve done a lot of medicine over the last 30 years…mostly acute and critical care, trauma care and general primary care.  Ever seen the TV show, ER?  Well, my life used to be a lot like that EXCEPT I attended more than 4 patients a week!  (c:  A LOT more!  Try 70 to 100 patients per 12-hour shift, and 160 to 200 hours a week for 18 years!

 

Needless to say, that kind of got me "burnt" after about the first 15 years of my practice.  So…I’ve been kind of re-defining myself and my role in the world of medicine. 

 

Medicine these days is quite sick.  I seem to not only have my present patients as clients, but I often need to attend to the illness of the “system” in a lot of new and unique ways.

 

I’m not destined to solve any global problems of the health care system, mind you.  BUT on an individual basis, person-to-person, I am really very satisfied with my work.

 

I’m basically a patient advocate and consultant.  My primary care practice is very heavy on results, not methods.  I’m somewhat versed on CAM. (The term most widely used to describe Complimentary/Alternative Medicine, a rapidly growing area of treatment)

My Areas of Special Interest

One nice thing about being a Generalist – I know a little bit about just EVERYTHING.  [...and I'm not afraid to say it! (an homage to the great Groucho Marx!) ]  There is very little in the world of Medicine that I haven’t seen…once.
