I’ve been seeing my internist, Martha Hyde, MD of Swedish Medicine for several years now. She is excellent not only for her medical expertise but for her amazing memory (“Elizabeth, how is your practice?” says the MD who sees 3-4 patients an hour and sees me only once per year) and compassion. Today, I received not one, but two lovely voice mails from her one to my home phone and the second to my cell phone. She empathized with my stress, reassured me that she was monitoring my treatment, and expressed optimism about my prognosis. How nice is that? Thank you, Dr. Hyde!
That’s great! I absolutely LOVE my Swedish primary care doc, who goes out of his way to put the *care* back in health care. Glad you have that physician in your medical team’s lineup.
I’m so glad you have an excellent primary care doc, too.
