Out of curiosity, would you be able to elaborate on the type of practice?
I wouldn't imagine they are a GP? This crisis would increase their traffic. Cosmetic surgery?

- mikeyouse 7y agoShelter in place means shelter in place -- almost all non-essential procedures have stopped, where "essential" has varying degrees of severity depending on where they are. I personally know of cardiology, oncology, and internal medicine groups who have basically cut their businesses by 90% to keep people at home. It's not safe for their staff or for other patients to continue normal operations.
- postingawayonhn 7y agoAt least where I am (Australia/New Zealand) I have been hearing that GP visits are way down. I think people are trying to avoid the health system as much as possible and are therefore putting off any appointments that are not critical.
- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoThis crisis is hitting medical practices incredibly hard, given that all non-emergency procedures are canceled (by law where I live). You seem to be implying by saying "cosmetic surgery" that it's just personal, cash-pay procedures, but that's totally wrong. Primary care, pediatrics, radiology, sports medicine, dermatology, on and on - they're all getting killed by this.
