My Doctor and I
I am 65+ (;) ), and in my life I was a patient of many good doctors in a variety of countries, and under a variety of political systems. All of them (except one >: /) follow the Hippocratic Oath with full heart. Thanks to each of them!
However, my doctor, Dr. PennyAnne Whitten, is the one that I found as a great listener, extremely loyal to her patients, and knowledgeable.
Back in 2018., Dr. Whitten, one of my three doctors that I visited at that time, found that I had valley fiber. Just by carefully and patiently listening to me! Other two doctors recommended me the overcounted allergy medication. The blood test confirmed what Dr. Whitten assumed of. I was already 5 months ill !
Two years ago, I came to my doctor and told her about my uncontrol crying (I am a war survivor) about almost anything (a plant, a dog, a cat, sky, a paper on the road ... especially about past). She knew exactly what to recommend me.... and I wish I talked to her 20 years ago. :)
Just one and half year ago, she found that something is wrong in my heart arteries and sent me to Dr. James Ganem, cardiologist, who sent me to Dr, Darryl Stein, cardiovascular surge...In just 5 (five!) days I had an open heart surgery ( by the way, Dr. Stein was generous - so he gave me 4 bypasses!) .
Without DR. PennyAnne Whitten and the doctors she sent me to, I would not be alive, and would not be able to give you this honest and openhearted story .
Thank you, my dear Doctor!
