It was the end of the day, and the MD was finishing up her busy day. Despite that, she kindly listened to my concern and even carefully reviewed the medical record of the patient's sibling to figure out what was happening to [...] (patient). It was her professional care and commendable judgment that made [...] recovery super fast. [...] that treatment saved [...] from going to ER. Then the MD went on to do internet search and kindly look for a med lab that is open after 5pm. Although all the labs closed at 5pm, I was pleasantly surprised by her kindness. That Friday, the MD called me. Then she asked me to take photographs of [...] face/body to examine her recovery--and to send them to her [...]. All her actions that week exceeded my expectations.
