9. Doctors should be so lucky

Sun Nov 9, 2014, 09:46 AM

Nov 2014

To have a patient like you, taking charge, involved & active in your treatment. I like to remember Drs don't know all, and how could they, it's your body and how could they know what you're going through if you didn't tell them? Dr works for you by the way, not anyone else, they seem to forget its a partnership.

Congratulations for seeing and taking the next step.
