When she picks up my sheet from outside the room and clicks my record open on her laptop she doesn't have time to read all those things about me.... she KNOWS them. Are they my friends? No, they are part of my support system and professionals with appropriate boundaries. But that doesn't stop them from caring about me.
I write letters and fax them to my new p-doc. He is VERY young, and very sharp. He puts my letters in the chart and quotes from them without looking at the text. LONG quotes verbatim! I should compliment him on his memory next time I see him.
