One of my good friends is a urologist in South Carolina and one of my best clients is a urologist here. I know the financials of both pretty well and the urologist here makes about double.

However, I have no idea of the expenses of both.

Well there's always going to be outliers. But more underserved metros generally have higher paid doctors.

Its simple supply and demand.

Correct. Doctors rent in the Bay area just like Google and Facebook engineers do. A crappy 3/2 is a seven figure proposition there

It's the care system itself. I know numerous seniors, no matter the income level, who complain about how bad it is.

I worry a lot more about the myriad of so-called urgent care (walk-in clinic) facilities. Many of these places are the medical equivalent of shady buy-here-pay-here auto dealers littering the highways throughout the state.

A fair observation, although my sense of worry has come from a decade of business relationships throughout north and central Florida. That includes dozens of medical facilities of varying types along with regular administrative and provider interaction. So, while not an official study by any stretch, it's certainly more than a sudden onset of irrational dread.

Which could have been made up as you typed.

If you have some data, even regional data that suggests urgent care facilities are fly-by-night organizations, share this valuable tidbit with us.

I can speak to my locality and say the urgent care facilities are just fine and provide a cost saving service locally.... especially when you're rural. They're run by Cleveland Clinic.

Certainly better than the alternative of having nothing. Which is what many rural communities get
