Doctor Crisis and the Reality of Walk-In Clinics

On an app't, with my doctor yesterday, I learned that walk-in clinic doctors want you in and out in 2 minutes and, in that 2 minutes, a walk-in doc will make the same amount as my doc who will spend 20 minutes discussing my condition and options. Walk-in doctors only want to treat symptoms, if you have something serious health-wise, avoid at all costs. These bastards won't touch you with a barge pole. Many young doctors want half the workload but the same pay as the older docs who take more time with their patients. This sucks big time. —We Need More Family Doctors!
