Thanks for this. I hope it's a positive sign, too. I know in general there is a better emphasis on patient-centered care in med school than there used to be. The pdoc I see started out as a pharmacist, then went to school to become a D.O. (osteopath). He is probably in his early to mid-40's, and he works through my county human services. He has scheduled a little extra time for me these past 6 months, because he knows I am going through a transition and grieving. I like him and I think he's a good, compassionate listener. He might make a good T, but he is limited in his availability and in his role with the county.
