Doctor's
Thoughtfulness Praised By Colleauges, Patients
New York,
NY - Despite planning to leave for a trip to Belize later that evening,
internist Dr. Mitchell Ramsay delayed his departure from the office to
leave important information on patient Arturo Rosada's answering machine,
describing "ipsilateral right-sided spinal
motor neuron degeneration, either a consequence of a demyelinization syndrome
or possibly related to ischemia," adding that "I'll be away
for a month, so if you have any questions, we'll talk when I get back."
Colleauges
have long expressed their admiration for Dr. Ramsay's dedication to good
physician-patient communication. "Not many docs take that extra half-minute
to let their patients know what's going on with their medical condition,"
remarked Dr. Rick Doran, also of Westside Medical.
When reached for comment, Rosada also asserted his gratitude for Dr. Ramsay's
concern and thoughtfulness, stating "No hablo" repeatedly.
