"You are very welcome. I'll continue of to take care of you. See you Saturday"~ Dr. Mendoza
So sweet, isn't it?
It has been a week since I underwent my first ever, most invasive medical procedure, under the caring hands of my surgeon slash ENT slash doctor slash TMC partner, Doc Norman. It was three weeks ago when we first met. Over twenty days have passed and, aside from the developments that I have noticed after the surgery, I have slowly changed my perception of doctors. All because of him.
Yes, they are supposed to be caring. Yes, they are supposed to treat you well. But one major reason why i abhorred hospitals and medicines and medical exams was the experiences I had with doctors of the past. I have been misdiagnosed, was given the wrong dosage, was not examined enough, was not examined properly and the common doctor-observation-on-record-is-what-you-tell-them case. Since then, I self-medicated (no harm because I only do water therapy) and I sometimes consulted trusted internet sites for medical advice.
It was such a blessing therefore when I found a trustworthy doctor when I needed one the most. My nose has been explored/re-explored, cleaned, suctioned, decongested, treated, operated on as smoothly and as painlessly as possible, as promised by the attending physician. I did not feel any hint of pain even during surgery time. I can say, I was pampered.
Doc Norman has been there all the way - from checking my vital signs to helping me decide for the surgery and even to help me deal with crocky medical card holder. His gentle ways and his sense of humor make him a cheerful person. And cheerful persons are sweet, caring and sensible :)
May more and more doctors be like him. May more and more gentle and caring doctors build partnerships with the host family. May more and more doctors be sweet, caring and sensible.
I thank you!
