Today I went in for a doctor visit and I found out that the woman that refused to treat my sprained knee until I got bariatric surgery got fired from my doctors office.
I also found out that my doctor no longer requires weigh ins and I told him how much I appreciated that and that I had to work with my therapist to get up the courage to come in for a visit, and no longer requiring weigh ins will help so much.
A little further into the exam, he stops and looks me directly in the eyes and says ‘I’m so glad you are here. I’m so glad you came in.’ Dear readers, I started to ugly cry right there on the doctors table. I walked out of the office ready to kill for my doctor.
Medical professionals, it doesn’t take much. Be kind. That’s it. Be kind so that your patients know it’s ok to be kind to themselves. You literally can’t take care of yourself while you’re beating yourself for being slothful.
Be kind. That’s all.
