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:
- 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.
- 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).
- His main urgent care also has an Xray and CT machine.
- Even his smaller shops have CBC, waived LFT, BMP, Troponin and xray capability.
