The number of patients per physician, and number of visits per patient per year, and number of total patient visits per physician per day and year varies widely by specialty and setting and a matrix of factors. Excellent article at the American Academy of Family Physicians' website on the factors, with an Excel worksheet, which could be cross-applied to most specialties.

If it is the number of discrete objects, as in 'The average number of dogs per family in the town of Bamberg is 1.0001', then yes, it is plural. Each family has, on average, 1.0001 dogs.

The answer to this question is varied - it depends on a lot of things. Are you asking for the number of patients per general practitioner? If so, the answer would appear to be somewhere in the realms of 1000 to 1500 patients per GP. This does depend on the nature of the population, their Demographics, geographical constraints, disease burden, age , ability of the Doctor, how many nurses the Dr has to support them, etc etc etc. In New Zeland, practice sizes vary from 500 patients per GP right up to 3500 patients per GP (considered unmanageable, actually). I believe the average practice size is around 1600 patients per GP. In terms of specialist doctors required, I do not know of research completed looking at ideal ratios here.
