Sometimes if it is meant to happen a circumstances will make sure it does happen

There are many times throughout your life that you will have to decide whether you will or won't do something. You go back and forth on if you think you should or shouldn't do it. Wednesday I was pondering whether I should tell the doctor his words were hurtful and it was hard to trust whether he cared about his patients health. Since your doctor is so important to keep you healthy you have to be able to feel comfortable. Because literally you are putting your health in their hands. I was going to make the decision on whether to tell the doctor how  I felt based on how he treated us on our follow up appointment. Since it was days away I had time to forget about until Monday. Then out of the blue the doctor called me this morning to discuss getting some lab work done before our next visit. During the conversation he said the same exact thing as he had at the visit, that I felt was rude and offensive. Well I couldn't help but tell him everything that I had bit my tongue not to say to him on Wednesday. He defended his choice of words because they were facts he needed me to be aware of. After telling him those words were hurtful, he said them again. By then I didn't see any way I could be comfortable with him. Strangely though we continued talking. At some point I believe he became more compassionate. At least I think so and hope so. I will find out Monday morning if I will actually feel like he listened to what I said. I know I felt relieved that I had said it. Part of my struggle with whether to say it to him or not was because if someone didn't he would not know how he comes across to patients. Perhaps it will be a positive impact throughout his career. I know after talking to him for a while he certainly earned my respect on his doctor knowledge. But let's see if he has a human side. I will let you know in Mondays blog. Remember it's not always what you say but how you say it.
