I wonder if this is a case where the actual Uber could overcome the lack of efficiency that the Doctor wasn't able to achieve on his own. Uber as a service doesn't work with just one driver. That driver would be crisscrossing around the city constantly picking up fares, just like the doctor was with his patients. Instead, the service works by matching up riders and drivers that are close together. If the problem with the described medical practice is lack of efficiency and too much time spent in travel, perhaps Uber could make a system for multiple doctors which involves less travel time so long as patients didn't require a specific provider. Also, Uber could take advantage of the fact that its drivers' time is significantly less valuable than the doctors' time and have them pick up supplies from the pharmacy so that when they pick up the doctor, all the supplies for the next appointment are already in the car and the doctor can head straight to the next appointment. As with many things, scale matters and trying to be a solo provider of an Uber-like service is unlikely to work.
