She has explained why what I thought would be a "simple" care plan is not the best at that point in time. She has taken the time to explain to me so I can understand my body and how it is being different. No matter how her day is going, or what her schedule is going, she still take all the time with me, like I am her only patient on her schedule. Even called me to an exam room.
