You're going to work as a "GP" with at most one third of the training of almost every other doctor in practice? Seems like you're shorting your future patients a bit. My advice as someone who sees a lot of patients who were incompetently managed at urgent care is to avoid going this route. You're setting yourself and your patients up to fail with potentially devastating consequences.

This is not surprising. On my last two visits to late night urgent care I encountered complete incompetence. On the first occurrence, the Doctor did not know how to suture my hand. She put in four sutures when at least twice as many were needed and placed them way to close to the margin. She failed to even clean it properly. It ripped open again while I was sleeping. On the next, unrelated visit, the doctor was drunk. His face was all red and he reeked of alcohol.

Not really a GP, more like a glorified triage nurse. Urgent care is where they give antibiotics out generically, and immediately transfer anybody sicker to the ED. (worked there, done that as part of residency)
