Here to Help

She came to see me

Wheezing

We fixed it

Nebulizer treatment

Discussed at home remedies for the cough

And plans over the next few days to keep on the up and up ..

Then she paused

“I just wanted to tell you”

“Thank you “

She continued… (I let her)

“I’ve never had a doctor motivate me to improve my health the way you have… “

I was going to push aside the compliments so I could go on to the next patient…

I had hugged her earlier

Then I paused

At team huddle this morning we talked about ways to feed our joy ..

One was sitting in and smiling from the heart at compliments sandwiched in the day

(yes sandwiched… sounds more delicious than sprinkled)..



“Doc, it’s not your responsibility to motivate me but I’m so thankful you do”

11 pounds down

More glow in skin

More pep in step

More energy

I smiled!

Thank you for the feedback!


In health,
Dr. O
