I went to see a new doctor today, a female doctor.
I really liked her.
I made her cry.
Which made me like her even more.
Is that bad?
I went to see her about an unrelated matter and had planned on not saying anything about Lola as I am not in a good place at the moment and I knew if I did tell her then I would cry. But I had to mention I'd had a baby 8 months ago and then she asked if I was breastfeeding. So it came up. And I did cry. And she cried as I told her. I have seen a lot of doctors in the past two years of my life and it has been rare for a doctor to show any feeling. I understand this, they have a job that could be much harder if they didn't desensitise themselves from stories such as mine. BUT jeez it was good to find myself today sitting in front of a doctor who was also a woman and also a mother.

I'm glad you found her, Kristalee :) You deserve to be as loved, nurtured and supported as possible - and a Dr who cries with you is a good start towards providing you with that empathetic care.
Thanks lovely xx
Tears of empathy are a good thing... they say "my heart breaks for you" and other caring things... xxx
need a 'like' button! xx
Is this the Doctor you spoke to me about? Either way, I'm so very glad you have finally found someone special. She sounds wonderful and just right for you x x x
Perhaps searching but I dont know who you are? hehe I have a few ideas but I dont know for sure!
