Today I had a teenager come into my office for follow up and say, “So I finally started doing all the things you’ve been telling me to do for the past year and I feel a lot better. Thanks for being so patient with me.”
Iobviously took this as an opportunity to say, “Nope, I’m the doctor, you’re the patient! :D ” and they rolled their eyes at how corny I am and then I told them seriously it was my pleasure and I was just so glad to hear they were feeling better
But it’s moments like this that make me happy and proud to be a Family Doc
That’s the payoff right there. Nice work, colleague! :)
