How much can you make owning an urgent care center? Can you make as much as working the ED?

Dude if you got the $ to own an In-n-out... you don't need to work and YES an In-n-out would make Poopload more than being an ER doc, owning an urgent care and whole lota other jobs.bemused said:How much can you make owning an In-n-Out Burger? Can you make as much as working in the ED?

everybody here is kidding themselves if they say don't want to know a good estimate...
Ryan said:WHAAAAAAAAAAA? I don't think anyone was actually "turning their nose up" at the estimate. It is just that without knowing what the overhead and business model is NO ONE could make even close to an accurate estimate on the comparison between owning an urgent care and working for a salary in an ER. It really depends on how good of a business person the doc is etc. etc. If you want to see average salary for different docs there are PLEANTY of resources you can look at.

bemused said:Salary is minimally important in the bigger picture. Everyone who graduates from medical school, completes a residency and then works as a BE/BC physician will make enough money to cover all their needs and many of their wants (well, depending on what it is you want).
What's the point of asking? Do you want to know who makes the most? Is the bank balance your most important criteria for specialty selection?
If you want to ask a question that would probably garner more SDN respect, read a thread like docb's on cost of homeless care or maybe this thread of docb's or even this thread from docb (seeing a trend here...) --- then go look up the average EP salary (lots of resources for this) then come back and ask, "Considering what you make ($123,456.78), is it worth it? Gas and IR make more than EPs - would you be interested in changing specialties to raise you salary?"
Until then, I reserve the right to talk about loftier subjects.
Speaking of making money - has anyone seem this incredibly disturbing scam?

GeneralVeers said:Although I think salary should not be the primary consideration, you should know EXACTLY what you should expect in terms of salary, lifestyle, working hours etc. before deciding on a specialty.
That would be nice!! A FP doc in my hometown converted his practice into something like this! He has PA's and NP's and they stay open until 11 at nightsunnyjohn said:

I just closed on a home. My mortgage, typically an American's largest source of debt, wasn't even close to my student loans. Sigh...
Take care,
