I consider every patient as though they were a loved family member or friend. I will do my best to spend enough time with them, explain the disease entity, and the most appropriate disease of management. I like to keep the family involved in the understanding and decision-making. I keep myself up-to-date as far as my specialty is concerned by going to conferences, attending meetings, reading journals, and listening to tapes. |
