It is a solid domain... that is yearning for development. In the meantime it deserves better parking. It's a perfect name for a medical portal and a physicians directory maybe. We are well in the $$$$$ range.

The guy with physicians.com said in the recent ebay listing that it grosses 1M a year and nets him 500K yearly.
He was fetching 2.9 million

How do you mean by "better parking", sdsinc? How would you park it?

Well I think that a quality domain like that deserves a better lander at least it should look less like a parked domain.
Have you considered a developed PPC template ?
When I visit Physicians.org this is what I get:

I don't really like the picture and the ads don't seem very relevant to me.
I would try to get hold of a database of registered physicians in the US and set up a directory. If you can add some quality contents like articles this would be a plus.
I am surprised it doesn't get more traffic. I don't think PPC revenue would be very high for this domain and not everyone can afford your asking price so developpement may be the way to go.

Very useful suggestions, sds. Thank you for taking the time to offer them to me.
I do have a db of physicians and have considered developing the domain, but it's work, and at the moment, there's so many things going on, that it would be a while before it gets slated with a date to develop.
We shall see where it goes.
As for the current landing page - you're right, it sucks. I should switch it over somewhere else.
