It's been pretty challenging to be me lately. I was in my doctor's office this past Friday to get a blood test and follow up on a new medication I'm taking because, well, he said I have to take it even if I don't want to. So I'm swallowing it.
This was a tough visit. I learned again that sometimes the best medicine is sitting quietly with this caring, decent man as he tightly clasps my hand in his. And that the safest I can feel is when he hugs me with kind reassurance before he leaves. Medicine is about so much more than chemistry and charting. Sincere compassion can be healing all by itself. Thanks for the prayers, Doc.

Couldn't agree more. It's rare to find doctors with good bedside manners. When you do, you hold on & never let go!
I hope all is well.
