I’m a medical student currently on placement at Kingston Hospital. I was lucky enough to sit in on one of Dr Al-Shakarchi’s clinics recently and she was the perfect example to me of what an excellent doctor is like. She was patient, kind, thoughtful and insightful. She listened to all her patients’ concerns even if it didn’t pertain directly to her speciality. She’s warm and approachable and makes her patients’ feel comfortable in her presence. It’s clear to me that she wholeheartedly cares for and prioritises the well-being of all her patients. Beyond her duties as a doctor, she also took on the role as a teacher during my morning with her. She was kind enough to answer all my questions and taught me how to take an effective rheumatological history, even though she had an extremely busy and long day. I’m truly grateful for this experience and I know that any other student would feel exactly the same way.
