your wife would be worth her wait in gold in the near future.
With the cost of healthcare, and the fact that healthcare service quality will be like employee customer service at a downtown McDonalds, a man or woman who can do all what you posted will be invaluable.

The doctor, my wife worked for, retired last June to avoid Obozocare.
A year plus later, basically every time we go out shopping, walking or to eat, we run into former patients, who have found out what a good deal they had with my wife and her doctor re patient visits and costs for an ER visit. Most docs now send patients to the ER instead of triaging them in their office and then if necessary sending them to the ER.
If you aren’t a welfare patient or an illegal, a simple ER visit starts at about $2k and takes a few hours out of your day.
So their patients today can easily spend more money on a single/simple ER visit than they did a year or more of visits with my wife and her doctor.
Also, they have found out the grim reality of the costs of deductibles before their insurance kicks in.
Our current FP chided both of us for not really seeing a md when we first went to him, a year ago. We have a couple of chronic problems that are handled with RX renewals or over the counter drugs for allergies. A year later with zero visits due to no new illnesses or an chronic disease getting out of hand. He told us that if everybody was as healthy and knowledgeable as us, with my wife as the primary knowledge bearer, he wouldn’t have a practice.
Then he talked about our younger 40 something son, who hadn’t seen doctor for over a decade. He went to another doctor in the same group for a physical just to have a fp. That doc told him to gain a few pounds and keep on doing what he was doing, and to see him in a couple of years unless he had an acute problem.
Our son’s doc told our new doc, “if everyone was like him, they could eliminate about 90% of the docs in the group. Our doc told the other doc, in spite of being in our mid 70’s, we were basically the same as our son.”
We may try to get our Doc to go to the computer visit program and get paid $40 for a computer visit and to renew our few Rxes until we need him.
