@glcanada_mirror Here’s a bottom up fix that could help their business and patients: have as many people as possible make appointments, specifically as many healthy people as possible. They show up, go to a room, say hello to the Dr, say good bye to the Dr, and on to the next. Should be able to get 20-30 people through per Dr per hour. That’s $800-1000 per Dr per hour for saying hello. May need some tweaking to allow for actual patients of course…
