Two-way Street

I enjoying seeing my patients

Our conversations are inspiring … we learn from each other ..

We laugh over life’s challenges …

talk adult life…

parenting life …

Navigating wellness in a world full of butter and sweets…

amongst other things

But that doctor-patient relationship can be complicated

How?

Well you see…

As much as I’d like (or we’d like) to say “see you later” … My patients don’t want to necessarily have to see me later…

So at the end of a great visit …

Me: so nice chatting with you…(in the middle of laughs and occasional hugs) have a good one and talk to you later

Her: Um thanks doc but maybe not too soon!

Me: Well played! Well played!


Cheers to great conversations!


In health,
Dr. Olabintan
