What area would have patients sustaining paying $84 for essentially 6 minutes?

That's the problem with churn and burn clinics. They're "free" and no disincentive for certain doctors to bill in this fashion. This is why…

Hope you're OK Jane. 1) GPs are specialists. We go through registrar training, fellowship exams etc. 2) Yes I detest doctors billing fake…

It's could be a great idea in theory, but there are a few barriers I see: 1. Cost - Good GPs will expect to be paid the same as hospital…
