I don't know almost anything about business but if more doctors use it,
that company wouldn't be able to get the required extra resources?
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.
