DePressMe, I love that he did that! Like giving you a living photograph to carry with you. I wonder if it makes you smile just thinking about it.

I had a pdoc who made me smile or laugh every time. He was very busy throughout the visit with the med management stuff, especially because it was a community mental health clinic which meant a lot of paperwork to be done, but he had a way of slipping something funny in somewhere and that lifted my spirits so much. I always left, after his warm handshake given with a smile that included his eyes, feeling lighter.

I'm so glad for you that you have such a great pdoc!
