The standard GP consult fee in Ontario Canada is $77.15. (just over us$50). That's gross, the nurse, receptionist and rent have to be paid out of that.

Some doctors will do 4 of those an hour, but most will do 6. And they'll try and find ways to bill additional codes above the consult.

Couldn't multiple doctors band together? Seems like nurses,rents, and receptionists should benefit from economies of scale.

That pay scale assumes you are banding together. A typical doctor has 30-50% overhead. Without sharing nursing/receptionists/offices the overhead would likely be > 100%.
