      Nope.

      Not worth the expense of renewal, cost of CME, and pharmacies (esp Medicare) frown on prescribing for kin, or anyone with whom I don't have a professional relationship.

        Frown? Unless you're doing controlled substances I don't see why they would care.

        Could always do doc-in-a-box a couple of days/week and pay for the expense. You'd be a helluva lot better than any NP could be.

        I do keep trying to shove you back in through the EXIT door, don't I? 😁 😁

          Hard, hard nope.

          Doing peds? Ladies with abdominal pain? Earaches? Runny noses?

          Nope.

          I could do simple ortho (put a cast on) and simple sutures. Nothing else.

                One of the docs I used to work with, was our ED Director for several years, until he decided he actually wanted a life. He went into the urgent care biz. He does a pretty good job and runs some pretty good numbers, because he:

                1. Tries to staff his urgent cares (he has 4 or 5) with docs, if possible. If not, there is at least a couple of docs working at any given time. There is always a doc at his main place.
                2. His main urgent care has a Piccolo (great little chemistry machines, can do a full CMP/ liver enzymes/Troponin), a CBC machine with an automated diff, dipstick urinalysis and a bevy of LFT waived testing (flu/covid/strep/mono).
                3. His main urgent care also has an Xray and CT machine.
                4. Even his smaller shops have CBC, waived LFT, BMP, Troponin and xray capability.

                  @kluurs that is cool you used to work for NCI. I did a bunch of work for them in the 2005-2011 time span when I was working for a research company in Rockville, MD
