Before You Get Into An Argument About Direct Primary Care….

Posted on by

First, the person in the video is not me. I am old but not that old.

Second, I do not know who the person is. I found it on the web and can’t find who to give credit to.

Third, this is not about politics but I am sure you can use it any way you want.

This is about Direct Primary Care:

  • There are some patients whom you will never convince to join your practice. You know who they are and you don’t want to waste precious time and energy.
  • There are some doctors who will never make the jump into Direct Primary Care. It’s their choice to remain in shackles. Let it go.
  • There are some ivory tower morons who will continue to criticize Direct Primary Care for the same reasons we have tried to correct them on. Forget these people.
  • There are some organizations that will never fully support Direct Primary Care. You may not know the backstory (politics and money). Let’s leave them in the dust.

There is your Thursday public service announcement.

I hope that helps.
