Hey NP,

I just want to say that I really like you as a person. Thank you for seeing that I was insanely early to my appointment (hey, if I can get a free ride I will even if that means I've got to wait ages!) and then seeing me early - I do believe you were still on your lunch break! I particularly found it rather nice when you asked if I minded if you were still in your workout clothes! Of course I don't mind! And that I was somehow done and out 15 minutes BEFORE the appointment was meant to start. I hope you didn't lose out on breaks throughout the afternoon.

Also, thank you for listening and having faith in my ability to be responsible.

And thank you for suggesting that I take the pills I'm no longer on to the pharmacist to have him dispose of them. It really seemed like genuine concern from you to not have them around as a chance to be tempted to OD on them. It didn't feel like fake concern at all, and I'm not really sure how to accept that when it's only the second time I've met you.

So.. thanks for starting to help me gain some faith in the health care here.
