finally...

For once....someone finally listened.

A few days ago I posted a blog about a horribly negative experience that I had with a physician.....and I took it off. Not sure why...but I did.

I did indeed have the most unpleasant experience with an individual who is supposed to be someone that is there to help me. Not judge me.

An experience with someone who does have a great deal more of an education than me...but, is not better than me.

Someone who is supposed to help heal, not hurt.

But, that is OK....I have moved on....and it must have happened for a reason.

Because it pushed me out of an unhelpful place into an office where I was listened to...

Today, I met with a doctor that treated me with kindness, compassion, honesty, and fairness.

Isn't that the way we should treat everyone? Even if they aren't as "smart" as we are?

I read somewhere recently that we should treat everyone we encounter with "kindness" because you never know what battles they are fighting.

So this whole experience has reminded me to try and be kind to people....no matter what kind of day I have had....to give people a chance.

This does not seem like a typical Short Story entry to me. But, the two night an day experiences I had with 2 different medical professionals really opened my eyes.

Just take a moment...to be kind.

It is really the only way anyone wants to be treated.

And I am glad I got treated that way today....from someone WAY smarter than me...and someone who made it clear they were there to help me.

Thanks, Doc.
