Do You Believe in Miracles?

I love the Olympics. 

Love all of it: the athletes’ stories, the Olympic rings, the flags, the gold medals. 

I even love Snoop.

One of my fondest childhood memories is watching the 1980 Hockey Team.

I sat on the family room sofa w my dad, watching. He cried tears of joy & pride.

I didn’t fully understand back then…. I do now.  

Our country’s young team of scruffy underdogs out-worked and out-played the well oiled, seasoned Soviets. 

I will forever remember Jim Craig wrapped an American flag looking up in the stands for his dad. I can still see Mike Eruzione waving the team up onto the medal podium.

Those boys “played their game” and went on to Olympic glory. 

I think DPC is a lot like that 1980 team.

A bunch of scruffy, underdog (I use those terms in the most enduring way) doctors out-working the system, winning every damn day against the colossal health systems.

What we do for our patients brings tears of joy & pride. 

I am proud. 

Proud of the red white & blue. 

Proud of all the DPC doctors out there.

About Amy Walsh, MD

Family always comes first: I am married to Whitey and can't imagine life without him. I have 4 great kids who screw up from time to time; but they are still pretty damn cool. Dog mom to 2 yellow labs who are exhausting and messy, but we love them. Happy DPC doctor since 2015 as the system wore me down and made me miserable. Luckily I found DPC. I found “my people” and never looked back. DPC was my best career decision without a doubt. Former varsity gymnast at the University of Michigan: I refer to those years as my “first life.” I learned about hard work, goal setting, and most importantly the value of true friendship. Hey, did you know UM gymnastics won NCAA Natty in 2021. Such a proud moment.Go Blue! Have been accused of being Type A, OCD, perfectionist, competitive. I may agree with most of those, but prefer words like focused, determined and committed. See? I have learned to use those all to my advantage.
