When there is a positive interaction and when they say “thank you” and mean it. Some patients do not say thank you and are very unappreciative of what we do.

My patients truly appreciate my efforts. They tell me their secrets. They’re honest about the lifestyle choices and behaviors they’re not proud of. We work together, evaluate their stumbles and cheer their successes. And they get better… physically, emotionally, mentally and…

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
