Such fabulous advice. Couldn't agree more.

I love the sunshine folder. I regret that I've lost one of my most treasured medical possessions during a move. A patient whom I thought I had a good relationship with suddenly no-showed two pre-scheduled appointments. The explanation came out when I received a handwritten letter from him from inside the county jail. He'd been locked on but would be there to see me when he was out in 6 months. He didn't mind being locked up, but what he felt most guilty about was no-showing our appointments.

News was coming from him sooner than I'd see him, however - he'd referred his cellmate to me for substance abuse treatment, and his cellmate would be out next month.

This letter means more to me than my diploma.

I am the daughter and mom of doctors. You are teaching me not only to appreciate both of them, but to appreciate my own doctors and hopefully be a better patient. Thank you. May God continue to use you and bless you!
