You are correct that it should be possible to get some additional revenue stream from the extra doctors who would want support. My concern comes from an awareness that some companies have limits to how quickly they can grow or expand.
If they are challenged to grow or expand too quickly (even though the market or business opportunity avails) it is sometimes too fast for them, and they destabilize and sometimes even go out of business. It can be because they are pressured to finance in an expanded infrastructure that they may be unable to operate as effectively, and/or cannot otherwise meet expectations such as finding enough new staff with the required skills.
