I'm a physician. Dr. Lee is a doctor's doctor. The best of the best. I don't know if/how nurse and doctor communicated. As a physician, I have the privilege to know how to advocate clearly and forcefully for my health needs, so some of my positive experience may not be applicable to those that do not have this privilege.
