I got one of my biggest compliments ever in clinic yesterday.
"You don't even act like a doctor."
I said, "I hope that's a compliment."
"Yes, it is."
We'd been discussing visits to two orthopedists, who'd both wanted to do surgery. The woman had refused. The context was that she said one of the orthopedists looked annoyed that she wanted to ask questions and disagree with him. So the fact that I'd let her argue and disagree was the "not acting like a doctor". Though I did threaten to take away the sling I'd put on her if she wouldn't LISTEN to the warnings about a frozen shoulder. I suppose that was not very Marcus Welby of me either.
I think that was my Valentine.
