I could actually share a couple of stories, but I'm not allowed that many characters: so, I'll do the best I can. My first encounter with Dr Kim, was me bringing one of our (my employer) residents in for his appointment. I was in awe of Kim; I called my dad and told him; that I had just met the "doctor him" he knows All, about everything, he's so interesting to listen too; I did the same with my employer when I returned that afternoon...I was just mesmerized by his knowledge and bedside manner and I was sold; I changed my primary doc immediately (was Not so thrilled about the extra cost...) The first time I saw Dr. Kim he did testing that I have never had done before and let's just say...I'm over a half century old, so that's saying something. Anywho, the small yet necessary things I appreciate about Kim, is he always responds to my text AND...he appreciates/plays long with my GIF funnies I include, in most of my messages; it's just how I roll, with everyone, and I appreciate that he does the same when responding. Now, for my latest and most helplessness situation Dr Kim assisted with (no, entertaining GIFs in this story unfortunately) was this past month, the day after my ankle surgery. I had broken my ankle on both sides and had plates and screws put in, on both sides of my ankle. The morning after, I woke up in so much pain, I had secretly been crying and enduring this pain for an hour before I yelled for my daughter, Lillee to come help; I just couldn't take it anymore!!! Lillee knew it was bad, because I have a high pain tolerance and I'm not a crier kinda girl. Lillee had tried contacting the orthopedic surgeon's office and they were no help; once they actually called back. After that she text Dr Kim and not only did he respond right away but he asked questions and offered more than one option and things to try in assisting with getting the pain under control and keeping it that way. He also explained to my "scared to get addicted to oxy, weenie self" that if I followed his regimen; I would be fine. To only then days/weeks later, to have contact him again because those useless ortho people couldn't be bothered; Dr Kim came through for me once more!! Me and my family were ever so grateful!! I Can Not express enough, even with all the best GIFs out there, how much I appreciate him.
Wow, 5000 characters is a lot... I was for sure I would run out; sorry for shortening the words, story and just referring to you as Kim, rather than Dr Kim; cause you have certainly earned and deserve that Title every time!!!
