Doctors

So I went to the Dr today and want to know what happened to the good ones. I saw a Dr in Insta Care that was my family practice Dr when I was a kid. I have seen him a few times over the years and my parents still see him from time to time. I miss having a REAL Dr that really cares about me and not just my ailment. My parents tell me that he asks about me and my family each time they see him and that he sits down and visits with them before actually inquiring as to why they are at the Dr. That was my experience today. He came in the office and actually gave me a hug and asked about my family, wanted to see pictures of my family, asked about how this last pregnancy was. Truly wanted to know about me before he ever got to my not so broken toe (the reason I was there). It was nice to have a visit with a physician that actually cared about me and did not just push me out of the office for the next 'paying customer'. It makes me sad that they system has pushed him out of family practice because it would not allow him to be the kind of Dr that can actually visit with his patients. I guess I will just have to go to insta care more often. Thanks Dr Brown!

How nice that sounds as I read it. More doctors should follow his example!

It is sad that Dr's have gone away from this. I know of a few. Glad your toe wasn't broken.
