I recently did surgery on a young boy, who had a birthmark that was pretty significant on his chin and neck. It bothered him for many years and he finally got a quick 5 to 10 minute surgery in the office and I removed it. At the postop visit not only did he bring me some cookies, but he actually drew something for me. It was really touching.
I think in today’s busy world we forget how to be human sometimes. I can tell you when I was in medical school almost 30 years ago, on rotations patients would routinely would bring something to the doctors. But that’s transitioned pretty significantly where nobody really ever brings us anything anymore. But about once a month somebody does, but I haven’t had anybody make me a card or drawing in many many years. Something so simple was really so touching.
So let’s please just realize that we’re all trying to get through this thing called life and be kind to each other. It doesn’t take much and it’s certainly not very expensive. It’s not about the cookies. It’s not about drawing a card; it’s about the effort and the humanity. And it totally made my day. Think about that for a second, something so simple changed my entire day and week.
