In case as a general practitioner you are not doing well, why don’t you change over to a new speciality. All you have to do is to catch hold of a busy pathologist friend and start making home visits to collect blood from the patients (home visits). Don’t be surprised if you can make a 5 figure income very easily with no responsibility and have plenty of spare time in the evening since most of the blood tests are done in the mornings on empty stomach. Bombay is known for starting new specialities. We now have in Bombay Phlebotomists who are earning much more than the GPs.
