<<<What you describe was possible, but not recently. Even going back 15 years or so, it was tough to run a one Dr. practice for less than 150K+.>>>

Even now, there are two different specialists that I go to who seem to rent pretty substantial looking offices in one of the major hospitals in the world and operate with what appears to be one administrative assistant each.

Of course these doctors seem to generate a lot more than $250,000 a year. But, the administration assistants do seem to be very busy. They are (no kidding) almost always on the phone with someone from an insurance company asking for payment.

PS: it seems like if we had a single payer system, these doctors could be a lot more productive.
