I love this cartoon and its meaning. DPC can be a lonely journey and even when you reach your destination you can feel isolated. The Direct Primary Care community is the most supportive of any physician group out there. No man or woman is an island. You need others but you also need to be open to being part of that community. Online groups, the DPC Alliance, the Masterminds, and the conferences all prove that others are there for you to help. Oh, and so are we at DPC News.
