DPC is a Medical Faraday Cage

Posted on by

A Faraday Cage is an enclosure used to block some electromagnetic fields. Think of it as insulation from a lot of bad stuff that could hurt you. I was reading about it recently and how it may block a large share of radio-frequency (RF) fields like Wi‑Fi, cell, Bluetooth, and even 5G bands. That’s when it him me that Direct Primary Care does that same thing for us. It shields us from insurance companies, coding, most prior authorizations, the government, and administrators. And like a Faraday Cage, it doesn’t block everything, but that’s okay.

Here is another funny part. I told ChapGPT to make the image above. I only gave a few directions:

Make an image of a Direct Primary Care clinic and a Direct Primary Care female doctor inside a mesh Faraday Cage like this image on the left. Outside looking in with mean faces are administrators, insurance companies and the government

The result is what you see. It seriously just went off on this concept. It was almost like ChatGPT was pissed off about the same stuff and was dying for someone to ask it to make this picture.

“Oh, yeah, I have been waiting for someone to ask me to ream these mothers#%kers!!!.”

My conclusion?

AI is so in on DPC.
