Gee, why do you think Steph (the referral co-ordinator at OSU) knows my voice on the telephone? Even when all I've said is "sure" when she asks if I could hold (yes, she's come back and greeted me by name when I've just said that one word ;-)
Working on your own (more or less) is one sure way to get your feet under you and get a lot of confidence in yourself.
Drawback may come down to what happens for after hours stuff/emergencies and when you're out of town. One of my "2 doc" experiences where I was the associate basically left me taking all the emergencies, all the time (for eight weeks straight); that's where I finally learned to say "no, dammit, I need some time off!" (not in those exact words, but pretty close). It's also part of why my office hours are set the way they are now ... it gives me a nice balance between work hours and having a life outside the office (I think your husband might appreciate seeing you once in a while, too *grin*).
Having had the experiences you've had lately, I would suggest NOT going for this one unless you are absolutely sure about it - what your heart tells you.
Then again, as you know, I have a vested interest in keeping you doing relief work for a while yet :->
