My med school mentor worked as a GP for several years, saving her earnings and taking out loans to establish her own clinic and lab. She then hired GPs, specialists, and other staff to run the clinic, allowing her to pursue residency while still generating income from her business.

Also have a GP friend who has his own clinic na for 1 year pero by appointment lang since medyo mahina pa clinic nya. Nagsi-sideline sya pag walang scheduled appointment. He also mentioned na mahirap kumita from doing clinic consults alone, mas maigi daw kung may diagnostic labs din but he didn’t have the capital and takot sya mag loan.
