I had a patient who is kind of confused and I was hoping that he was getting better. I told him I one day that I was the doctor and I wanted him to remember who I was. The next day I asked him about it.
Me: "Do you know who I am?"
Patient: "Yes. You're the physician, and you specialize in.... caring for patients."
Actually, I did my fellowship in caring for patients.
If more of us actually did this, we'd be better doctors.
