Had to move further to be seen, following problems elsewhere with two other "doctors". He reminds me of two Doctors seen some thirty years apart. Just like them, he's willing to sit and listen to what you have to say. Anything said by me, isn't dismissed as irrelavent or not important. Nor is the prescription pad the first thing being written on. My first thought when I saw him the first time and a small pad close by. Used simply to write down some of what was said by me and get me to explain it further to him. A good example being the different names used for the same medication, which many seeing him will be familiar with. Over the years I've become used to visiting hospitals. Not always voluntary/of my choosing, but that's down to the nature of the condition I'm being seen for. May sound daft to some who read this, but he's gone a long way to restoring my trust in some of those who work in Neurology. That in just the first two visits. But this follows on from seeing and being treated recently at the opposite end of the scale, for the same condition. The waiting area may seem busy, but if I've been delayed in seeing him, probably spending too much time with another patient, putting them at ease, he has always apologised. There never seems to be any rush to get you seen and the next person in with him. The system as a whole could do with a few more Doctors like him. Willing to treat you as a person and a patient, rather than just a name on a piece of paper. Sadly there seems to be fewer like him as time goes on.
