Bulk billing got you rattled?

Dr Sachin lays out a rocks-first appointment architecture (CCMPs, health assessments, DMMRs, then consults), while Dr Todd stress-tests the numbers for an MMM1 metro clinic: 4 days a week, ~30 patients/day, 42 weeks/year, strong continuity, nurse-led systems, tight MBS compliance - netting attractive GP earnings and a sustainably paced job.
