Yesterday was my second consultation. Prof Birtle saw me on time in the company of the CNS. She listened attentively and responded clearly to my questions. Her reporting of where we were on the pathway and what lies ahead was was completely clear, When I posed an unanswerable question she responded by acknowledging it was unanswerable and did not obfuscate for which I was grateful. Many metaphors exist to describe how one deals with chronic illness, my relationship with her and the trust I have in her renders such metaphors irrelevant. She is my physician, my guide, my mentor and, I believe, my friend. As such she has my complete trust and admiration.
