It's "possible" but very unlikely. You will be providing barely passable care to an exceedingly large group of patients.

See 75 patients per day at $40/patient, working 5 days/week, 50 weeks a year = $750,000.

When I was a resident, I rotated through a Walmart walk-in clinic where we saw (2 residents + 1 staff) about 120 patients in 10 hours.

Recently finished FM residency in Alberta. The numbers aren't "average" but by no means uncommon for Alberta GPs to bill 600k or higher if working 50-60 hours a week (all paperwork and charting time included). A high volume clinic, run with nursing support (35-40% overhead), can gross $300-400 per hour. A lot of these clinics would have support staff doing things such as wound dressings, suturing, injections, liquid nitrogen, casting, etc. If you don't have a nurse (25-30% over head), then grossing $250-300 per hour is about 5-7 patients per hour (visit + time modifiers/ physicals/ forms/ employment exams at $200-300 each). If you work about 40 hours a week (including paperwork), seeing 5-7 pts per hour, you can reasonably expect ~$350k after 30% overhead.

 

Also to address the "ESL" comment above: Once you start looking for FM jobs, you'll find most clinic managers/ owners are not physicians but business-minded people, ranging from mid 20s to 50+s years old, who may have no idea what you do (let alone a good command of the English language), but manage the billing, scheduling, and advertising/ hiring.
