Peter Sigmund from Gamlitz in Styria is a family doctor with heart and soul. He wants to motivate young people to return to the profession. He dispels many a prejudice in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper.

A family doctor who comes to the house. What was taken for granted for many generations has now become a rarity. This makes the gratitude that Peter Sigmund receives from his patients on a daily basis all the greater: "I treat the immobile and dying in their own four walls as a matter of course," says the Graz native, who has been running a health insurance practice in Gamlitz for 35 years.
