In one case, one of my neighbors, unknown to me until
now, is slowly dying from cancer. It is definite. Instead of pressuring this person
to adhere to dietary guidelines and other restrictions, both the family and the
doctor have agreed that the patient’s final quality of life was the most
important issue. They encourage this person to enjoy the final days instead of
worrying about eating this and that. I like that doctor!
In another case, a friend debated moving out of state
but decided against it. Expenses would most definitely be less with the move.
However, this friend has a doctor who is trusted and who makes a
great deal of difference in the friend’s quality of life. To move would mean
this friend would need to travel hundreds of miles to see this much-preferred
doctor.
How wonderful it is to find a doctor we can trust and
who we can work with and who works with us.
Doctors, lawyers, accountants - the
right one makes a big difference in our stress levels.
