> If you start doing good, very soon you are swarmed with patients 24/7.

I'd argue that the answer to this is, "Sorry, but we're full up on appointments that day/week/etc". And if you start needing to book your normal clients too far out, you stop taking new patients. The fact that people want to see a doctor doesn't mean they get to see that doctor. The answer is not to take more patients but give each one less time, resulting in sub-par treatment.

You have to visit one of the hospitals in Bangalore - St.Johns to see the volume of patients. It's insane.

What's a normal client ? Do you mean repeat clients ?
