I was a funeral director for a few years and I remember a time when a family member of a decedent was waiting to go into an arrangement, they came up to me after I had finished up with a family and told me it was incredibly unprofessional of our funeral home staff to be laughing in the back room while there were families waiting to be seen. I checked in the office and there was only one other funeral director quietly working back there. I realized that the he had overheard an arrangement in the next room where the family was laughing and sharing wonderful stories of their loved one. Everyone grieves differently. Some find it a relief that their loved one is no longer in pain or want to celebrate that they had lived a beautiful, full life. For others it can be incredibly traumatizing and joy is sucked out of life for a long time. It can be so hard when someone you love dies and the world doesn't stop, just yours does.

[@petiadavis5122]

Thank you for your insight

[@_M_a_r_t_i_n_M]

I guess few people could have said it better. Even those who have felt that pain firsthand, we have a hard time truly putting words to the feelings and experiences one goes through after losing someone far too young at just the worst possible time. And yes it can be very different when losing someone elderly. And I can't say it can exactly ever really be any easier. Just what you said, people experience it differently, and process it differently. Absolutely, thank you. It really fucking sucks when people simply don't understand.

[@rebeccaconlon9743]

I hate when customers jump to conclusions

[@Alex-Mex]

I completely understand, my daughter laughs at awkward occasions (to her sadness is awkward as she said). She even laughs when she gets really hurt. But I try to teach her that she has to try to control it because how she feels shouldn't be a priority to express, especially since someone is going through hell (emotionally). I told her, "Imagine a guy cheats on you and he starts laughing about it. Would you be ok and let it go?!" She told me she gets it and she is slowly trying to change that. One thing that many of us are forgetting is humanity, we need each other so why not think about others before ourselves. Also, think about situations where it could affect you and how it could affect others as well. Trust me, if people really want to change their habits, they could...they just don't want to. Anger gives consequences, but compassion is free.

Our pets make us more authentically human. They are a daily object lesson in unconditional love, and by loving us they increase our capacity to love. It is usually true that you cannot buy love...but pets are the major exception. Go adopt a pet, and you have guaranteed love in your life. You get so much more than you give. It is no accident to me that "dog" is "god" spelled backward. Dogs (and other pets too, but dogs in particular) love as God Himself loves...without reservation. They give us a glimpse of heaven with their love. They are a real treasure. If we could be as good to one another as animals are to us (and one another too); the world would be a far better place!

I lost my dad to cancer just this past may one week after my birthday. He had single cell prostate cancer. I was the only one who stayed bedside with him. My fiancé was so amazing and watched my kids at a hotel while I stayed bedside with him. It was terrible to watch but I knew he needed someone, anyone. I am his only daughter and youngest out of 5, and I love my dad. His very last words were so faint compared to his usual healthy self, but I got to hear him say he loves me and that it something nobody can ever take away… but I wanted to type this and share it because I know the pain behind losing a parent to cancer and the heartbreak behind it. I too, felt the way dr Mike did. I heard people laughing moments after he was pronounced and it tore me up inside, but yes, I also understood the situation, however, understanding doesn’t stop the pain from occurring. Also, previously before he had passed and I was just sitting in the room keeping company, I had a dr approach me saying I didn’t have to stay and I could go home, etc. yes, I understood that, but obviously all I wanted was to be by my dad so he knew he was cared for and loved in his last moments. All I needed to hear was what I had heard from an older nurse, bless her heart, she sat with me for a moment and talked about going through the same situation I was sitting through and she said just being there, meant the world to him, even if he couldn’t express it. Just thinking about her saying that, makes me want to cry. She doesn’t realize it herself, but her saying that, has burned a permanent memory of the love people have when they pursue medicine in my brain. It’s to be there for the people. Not just to push in and push out patients to save time in between appointments..

Lost my father at the end of August to primarily pancreatic cancer, but end-result of blood clots in the lungs and heart.. I also was the only one by his side for the last 8 days of life once they stopped administering antibiotic, I got robbed of the ability to hear those words of "I love you" from him due to the worsening encephalopathy. But it makes me happy to hear other people got that special moment. Fk cancer.

​@@vtwinbreedI'm so sorry for the loss of your dear dad. I learned the hard way how pancreatic cancer kills; it almost always does this by causing clots so it's usually a sudden passing, not like the movies where there are many lucid days to say goodbyes. It robs you of your ability to have a more complete closure with your loved one. 😢 Even tho my dad had said a lovely "I love you" the night before he passed, and I did too, I didn't know that exchange would be our last, as he was unexpectedly gone in the morning. I try to focus on the countless times we exchanged those words. The many moments we were there for each other. I hope you can too, it brings some peace to the hurting heart. 💝 ((hugs))

[@akaiappears]

That's partially why people flock to quack solutions. They are promised guaranteed results. Uncertainty in the medical field serves the patients, it comes from a place of caring for the lifes of patients, care for risks and side effects, opportunity cost of care and therapy that might not work. That same uncertainty is met with annoyance, impatence, and sometimes anger from some people.

Check out Dr. Mike’s Ted talk in Monaco 🙌🏻 he earned my respect then

[@dawnreneegmail]

But we then say, "let's find out"

[@luvfunstuff2]

My favorite doctor would readily admit "I don't know" and would whip out the medicine reference book and look up the right meds & dosages right in front of me because as he said, " I can't possibly memorize all this stuff" 😂 (and he wanted to be sure to get it right!) I loved his candidness. I had a lot of faith in his ability to help & do no harm.

[@ElberethKar]

I am a psychologist and have been working as a Clinical Communications Tutor at the Medical School, helping students and future doctors become more effective communicators with their patients, families, and co-workers. Dr. Mike is absolutely right-it's crucial to find ways to provide information to patients without overwhelming them. Simply being in a hospital or doctor's office is already a stressful experience that can hinder understanding. It's wonderful that we now have various platforms to share information and guidance in a clear and accessible manner, free from jargon.

[@Ana_Lev]

I wish doctors did the simple thing of......writing things down. What would be even better is an info sheet/ infographic. I leave the doctor's office with medical terms and no understanding of what is wrong with me or my loved ones.

[@huh4324]

I haven't found a REAL platform that doesn't ask for payment to get it...they are as bad as lawyers

[@ElberethKar]

@Ana_Lev that is absolutely correct and the patient's perogative! The communication protocol - at least the one we utilise at the Uni also suggests that if you are sharing a ton of info, you should at least offer to provide some reading/viewing material for home.

[@denel6]

My entire practice was explaining in layman’s terms to patients. Drawing out simple understandings about their condition. Leaving with a treatment plan in hand. Every patient understood, referrals were exponential, people became well because the root cause was addressed on a physical-emotional-spiritual level. Drop the ego and medical “speak” and connect with patients.

[@denel6]

This is absolutely how I practiced.

The shoes and grooming thing are so true. In my darkest days I always cleaned and took care of my appearance and put on shoes and went out. I always felt better after. Now that life is amazing I look back and am thankful for each tough step I took.

[@lars5288]

I agree. I saw that in lots of people who started to get lazy with personal hygiene and proper dressing. This is like giving up yourself entirely. Every animal, even insects put so much effort into cleaning themselves and maintaining their appearance daily, that I always feel alarmed if i hear people say things like "i don't care how i look or if i shower daily, it's my body and I don't care what others think". It should not worry you what others think, but it should worry you that you don't think much about yourself. And nobody chooses how he looks, but you choose how you appear. Trying to make the best out of yourself is healthy for the mind, and being clean and wearing fresh clothes that look nice to you AND to others is beneficial. Even in elderly care, people who haven't given up on life demand from their nurses to clean them and give them fresh clothes. They sometimes don't even go out but want to appear well dressed on every day.

[@Rene_33]

My father passed away suddenly from a heart attack at home when I was 14. I handled the situation very similarly to Dr. Mike. I started taking care of my mother during her grief and it was the only time I ever saw her cry. I think the only thing back then that truly helped me with my grief was my horseback lessons. Horseback was something my dad always took me to since I started in middle school. Looking back now it gave me both a motivation to leave the house and animal therapy. If I didn't have horseback I would have just gone to school and then gone home. We had just moved states before he passed so I was in a brand new large high school where I knew no one. So I had no friends yet to lean on. So as sad as it sounds the horses were my friends. I always talked to the horses while brushing them and tacking them up. Sometimes about nonsense, but sometimes about my day/week. I would not say it alone healed me, but time has. I'm 28 now. I fully agree with Dr. Mike put your shoes on and go outside, find a hobby you love, a motivation to leave the house. It is so easy to stew with your thoughts and feelings in your own home. It's harder to do so somewhere in public while doing an activity. And if you are interested in animals for therapy there are ways to do so. Horseback was mine, and owning and taking care of a pet was Dr. Mike and his father. If neither of those interests you, you could volunteer at a shelter or be a dog walker for your community as other options as well.

Same thing happens with dispatchers and firefighters bro I was a dispatcher and talked to firefighters, the simple matter of fact is these are people too and they can’t be expected to be sorrowful all day everyday at their job, its not personal and they all understand why it makes people upset, but we still don’t wanna be depressed all day long either.

They were professional! These people are confronted with death daily. Having and maintaining a distance to this and communicating with colleagues about private life and future plans is very healthy.

People should get beyond the idea that people in intensive or Palliative care are dedicated to every single patient personally. They are dedicated to work professionally, no matter who lays there. And that needs distance. What is for you a personal drama, is their daily work. Did they make any mistakes in treatment of a patient? If not, then let them be humans.

[@spark967]

RN here…We MUST take a step back while caring for patients…all that we see…death death death. We all have PTSD so if we didn’t take a step back emotionally-we would not exist. Everyone deserves compassion and understanding by walking in their shoes. I’m sorry for you’re loss

[@verenakey8389]

I am so sorry you went through such a terrible and traumatic experience. I am sure they understood your grief. I hope you are at a better place now.

[@RoyalRadiantJade]

I felt the same way when my grandma was in agony screaming in pain and they were outside laughing telling me she’ll be fine. She passed way “unexpectedly” several days later …a day before she was supposed to be discharged everyone in the staff was shocked. Not the nurses fault but it did hurt to experience and felt like they didn’t care. I quote unexpectedly because I knew it was coming since she was getting so sleepy and couldn’t even stay awake and she didn’t know why but the nurses and doctors didn’t think it was an issue. But it’s true you have to desensitize to work that kind of environment every day.

[@julieobrien308]

I have been watching Dr Mike for years and as a nurse, I love to see the debunking sessions. Dr Mike comes across as a genuine person and I think he is a great guy. My 10yo daughter loves watching him too, he makes his content so adaptable to all ages. Thanks again Steven another quality podcast ❤

[@violetviolet888]

He's not perfect. He is still a product of western medicine and still can learn to be open to other forms of health care that have been in practice as long or longer than western medicine.

[@BorisMiljkovic]

This is the guy who said kids should get the covid vaccine. That being said, he is still better than most mainstream doctors. He seems to be honest and somewhat takes responsibility for his claims. He doesn't hide behind the system.

[@kimc555]

I think this is one of your best interviews. I have never seen Mike so vulnerable and I think your ability to connect plays a big part in that.

[@cathblaze694]

Love Dr. Mike! I love to watch his debates, it's a breath of fresh air to have content creators like him actively fighting misinformation. We need more people like him.

[@violetviolet888]

Dr Mike is so honest, his honesty makes you feel that as a human you have successes and failures but you just keep going.

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

The best. Such a real human.

[@HopingforPower]

Dr. Mike is what the world needs. Science isn't about knowing, it's about providing evidence for or against. Inflated confidence is a great sign of ignorance. Admitting ignorance is a great sign of intelligence.

[@lsaua]

I was introduced to Dr Mike channel by my son, who was 9 at the time. We watched it together and talked about Dr Mike, still do now in his teenage years. God Bless you Dr Mike, you are our hero.

[@maggiepie8810]

This is such an interesting podcast. Not only is Doctor Mike an amazing guest, but you're a great interviewer.

[@nirradical]

@maggiepie8810 if this is your first exposure to Diary of a CEO it's one of the best podcasts on the internet. Steven is one of the best interviewers and they get the best guests. You will often hear the guests say "I've never cried on a podcast before"

[@fionasmith-bz8ox]

Doctor Mike is obsessed with only fan girls that have sex tapes. The new one is Lina belfiore

[@billpetersen298]

I love what he is saying. He is like my family Dr. She reluctantly prescribes medication, and says eat healthy, if you want vitamins.

If I only learned one thing from this podcast it was learning that when you're doing CPR that you may not save a life but you are stabilizing them until professionals arrive. Thank you so much Steven for this wonderful podcast ❤️🎉

[@MariGolds2]

Dr Mike talks about scientists and how they go about proving hypothesis by even trying to disprove them. Has he seen scientists do this or is he believing what he was told in medical school? He admits to corruption in big pharma, it is also a known fact that " science" and the paid scientists are part of that capitalistic corruption.

[@aprilapril2]

But that IS saving a life !

I am glad you brought on board Dr.Mike for this interview session, Steven. Such an humble person he is with so much of knowledge. I respect a lot his dire passion to end the cycle of misinformation and feed people with the correct information. My respect for Dr. Mike just goes up after watching this podcast episode. Keep doing whatever you are doing for the goodness of the society. May God always bless you. Thank you for making this interview session happen, Steven!

[@philippetahon1167]

I'm a psychotherapist specialised in weight and body image issues. Exercise doesn't make you lose weight but it puts you in a better place to make some lifestyle changes. Over the years I have found out that the most difficult things on our way to a healthier weight are our beliefs and habits.

[@RIVALSGOOBERS]

Dude run 5 miles a day and no Way in hell u WONT loose a weight! Have you seen a fat marathon runner ?

[@Andy-ud2wx]

It will make you lose weight but it's minimal. The bulk of weight loss is from diet. Exercise is good for everything else, heart health, brain health, respiratory health and it gives you an amazing sense of achievement. If youre looking for weight loss through exercise the best thing you can do is resistance training.

[@JoshuaKhosa]

What?!? 😂 exercise definitely helps you lose weight. You’re a therapist telling people this?!

[@Zedhead17]

Ikr, #1 promo clip I think was "calories in, calories out is true". Go for a run and you will burn more energy faster, i.e., calories. All else remaining equal, the more you run, the more weight you will lose. Does it really need to be debated in 2024?

[@carolallison9685]

Building muscle increases your resting metabolic rate by taking in more glycogen, meaning it goes from the mitochondria into the muscle fibers instead of remaining glucose and being converted into fat. Because of this increased energy need, the fat is then converted to be used by the mitochondria for energy. This is also why building muscle reverses insuline resistance. More muscle to take up sugar means less sugar in your bloodstream, covering your red blood cells prohibiting them from carrying oxygen. Therefore, your pancreas secretes less insuline because your body isn't freaking out about possibly not getting oxygen because you ate a twinkie. So yes, exercise definitely helps you lose weight. The real issue is people tend to overeat when they start working out because our bodies freak out and think we're now starving, so get hungier. If people allow 21 days for the body to adjust to the higher performance, they will start burning fat. But if they increase food intake before their body has adjusted, they won't lose weight. It's the difference between giving an addict methadone vs. cold turkey. Cold turkey is definitely more effective, but methadone feels easier.

[@turteltaube2277]

[@carliedavenport5548]

Hi Dr Mike, I just wanted to say that you are such a kind, caring and amazing person. I've been watching your videos for a while now and i love them. You speak with such heart and You're so passionate about everything you talk about. You're so intelligent and knowledgeable. I love that you are being honest, informative and telling us the truth. I really respect you for that. On another note, you are super funny and I love that you make medicine and everything medical interesting and light hearted. Your videos make people laugh, entertain you, pay attention and want to watch you. You're the Whole package. I think you're totally awesome. You're such a nice guy, so passionate and hilarious. Thank you Dr Mike xo

[@excalipoor]

Just finished listening to the whole thing. Dr mike did a great job to express his mission and showing part of his vulnerability on the podcast. Especially he’s a critic of a good amount of guests from this podcast. Good job dr mike. 👍

[@jesusfreak2017]

There’s very good reason for the drop in trust of doctors. My family has been burned by doctors and would have been burned several times more but thankfully my wife did the research and was able to understand what was happening, preventing much worse issues that the doctor was about to prescribe. We were gaslit really hard by a specialist that should have known better. I am very careful about which doctors to trust. Many are not up to date on the literature, and others are just trying to get us out of their office to get to the next patient rather than actually trying to address the real health issue.

[@lynnebucher6537]

I feel corporate intrusion into medicine has ruined healthcare. And then there's the insurance companies that micromanage the doctors in demand they jump through hoops. This leaves the doctors, NPs, PAs, spending most of their time focusing on electronic records and making sure your appointment time is as short as possible so they can move on to the next patient. I really don't know how the visit can be productive when there is so little time allowed.

[@LucasJolicoeur]

You simply don’t miss, Steven! As promised, your guests and episodes keep getting better 👌🏼 Thanks for all your work, DOAC team 👏🏼

[@MariamAlhomsi-e8s]

I don't normally leave comments on KZbin but i just had to do so because while I obviously enjoyed the conversation and learned a lot as i always do when watching Dr. Mike or this podcast ,but I LOVED the part of the conversation on Dr.Mike's mother passing . I lost my father very suddenly and one of the things i believe saved me especially in the early stages of grief is walking my dog . Having the nessecety to put on shoes and walk my dog on the days i felt like isolating in my room was really life saving . I love the simplicity and truth of his Answers while being vulnerable is so refreshing and relatable.

[@ClaireGodson-mf7rn]

I walk in my local forest, partly to enjoy the forest but mostly to say hello to all my doggy friends. I've made some friends among their owners too! It has helped me deal with my loss, even though I had to explain my partner's absence...which was so hard...we shared some tears and some laughter.

[@Hirux1]

@TheDiaryOfACEO I know this wasn't the main focus of the video, but hearing Dr. Mike talking about the loss of his mother, and the advice, "Just put on your shoes" is probably the best advice I have ever heard. Having lost my mother in 2022, in a similarly traumatic way, I wish I had that advice when it happened. Hearing him say that, was a beautifully sad moment for me. Thank you for this podcast and the talks that you engage in.

[@TimKralik]

Never heard of Dr Mike before today, but i appreciate how humble he delivers his information throughout this whole interaction

[@NickBingham01]

I have been watching his stuff for a couple of years now, he's a good source of information, he's funny, and he has a great attitude. Definitely recommend subbing his channel, his critiques on Tik Tok medical trends, and his reviews of medical scenes in shows are my favourite videos he does, but it's all good.

[@happycatyoutube]

His channel is great! Makes it really fun and quirky too but also covers serious topics as well

[@fionasmith-bz8ox]

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, alcoholism, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

[@bryantdonald8997]

Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.

[@DeanSteven-rq2or]

To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.

[@CapucineLeroy-bh7zp]

Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!

[@bryantdonald8997]

Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.

[@ElianaBravo-hr3qk]

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@RONNIEDEBRODT]

I’d be Dr Mike’s friend for sure. What a podcast…enlightening and informational. Open honesty that money can’t buy! Our journey shapes us and we, as a people, are better for his particular journey. 🙌🏼

[@ctesswill3538]

Love your DOAC podcasts Steven. They have been a great escape for me these past 6 weeks. This was a rough one for me though at the end with the discussion of CPR reasons and the training occurred. Brought me right back to the trauma of the night my 22 year old son collapsed, me on phone with 911 and then doing CPR with 19 year old son until EMS arrived. Unable to revive, he died at home of bilateral pulmonary emboli from a DVT. Total shock. Thanks for discussing your grief tips DR Mike they will help. Had to pull car over to finish this one. It was a tear jerker. Will need to look into Dr Mikes talks more. GOD bless.

[@suzu363]

What a great episode. I've never heard of Dr.Mike before and I am so glad you brought him to us all. I am one of those everyday people who were going down the rabbit hole and falling pray to some of the misinformation out there even though I am a pretty intelligent person with a lot of common sense. After starting to treat my clinical depression I am slowly coming back to my senses ( weird by product of treating my depression, not expected this effect) and have stopped with the gazillion supplements, and tests and am back to a more balanced common sense approach to my health. Dr.Mike's views and opinions really resonate with me and make perfect sense to me. He's got one more fan in me. Thank you for the great podcast and the CPR refresher.

[@violetviolet888]

He's not perfect. He is still a product of western medicine and still can learn to be open to other forms of health care that have been in practice as long or longer than western medicine.

[@vanessamartin5522]

Im so so blessed to be quiet healthy, I'm 48, I have 2 friends going through cancer and all I want to do is learn, when I'm at appointments with them, I want to understand what the consultant is saying, want to try to understand the treatment they will be getting, what are the benefits and side effects. We all should try to understand & take more control of our health

[@fruz1378]

Don't remember that this is learning through the scope of a few doctors that have probably been biased with modern western medicine (not saying it's all bad or anything of course) though. But it's definitely much better than simply saying "ok please do it" to anything for sure !

[@starur]

I'm adhd diagnosed almost 8 years now at 40, female. To answer that question Stephen....more people have an awareness, ie symptoms. More women have been diagnosed lately rather than males and the reason for this here in the UK is women,girls present differently to men,males. So boys especially in the 70's, 80's and 90's where easier to spot with predominantly hyper rather than the day dreaming girls. I only know this because I asked the same question last month to my adhd Dr. I've known 3 women in the last year ro be diagnosed and actually had other diagnosis. So women have even been misdiagnosed with things such has bpd, depression disorder, anxiety disorders rather than adhd and same with other neuro diverse things like autism.

[@fannyhighland4277]

This!!

[@msch7620]

This “you are on Tiktok so you think you have ADHD and ask for pills” stereotype drives me CRAAAAAZYYYY!!! So many doctors out there just give an opinion without knowing the conditions. Many doctors lack knowledge about what is affecting biological women and how they are affected. Even “common” things like ADHD and ASD. I don’t mean that this doctor is misogynistic by any mean but he probably doesn’t realize the gender biais in his field, the discrepancy in diagnosis for men and women (conditions over diagnosed for one gender and under diagnosed for the other) , that things are catching up and that there is still a lot of catching up to do. He’s talking about weightloss for example and no mention of thyroids, PCOS, and Lipedema that are affecting a LOT of women. Even ADHD causes more obesity for multi reasons that are still being researched. So many biological women with lipedema try the “calories in and out” and exercise and can’t lose weight and their condition makes them suffer (heavy legs, vein issues, bruising for no reason etc.). 1/12 women have it. Normally you need some kind of special surgery to get rid of it but apparently Ozempic helps with it … I bet my top dollar some women with Lipedema will use Ozempic and be accused of taking the easy way out and causing drug shortage.

[@Nooblet1999]

Yupppppp

[@Alex-Mex]

I'm a psychology major student and I just had a class about ADHD. Although you are right, here in the U.S. it is still a huge problem in girls getting diagnosed. The reason for that is that boys show visual symptoms like hyperactivity and girls are more inattentive...you cannot see when a child is not paying attention unless you look for the signs (when the psychologist does their job correctly). I'm glad they are doing a better job over there, but here it's still a problem unfortunately.

[@Nooblet1999]

@@Alex-Mex very true!

[@aroundtheworldaly]

YES!! My two favourite KZbin people combined! 💃🎉 I love how Dr. Mike answered the question about corruption in pharma. It’s easy to become disheartened when we hear about negative instances but discarding an ENTIRE profession, especially one that holds itself to such high objective standards, would be a loss to ourselves as individuals and society as a whole. Think of all the medical advances that have increased our longevity in the past 100 years! We have science and the rigours of scientific research to thank!

[@culturevulturepapi8948]

[@CharlesMcDermott-c8h]

This was fabulous! As a Catholic priest I was surprised somewhat by how much thinking about and acting out those thoughts are similar to what you do as a doctor. How what I say and do will help my parishioners is paramount! Thank you Dr. Mike! Since your practice is very close to mine, I am sure that you have cared for, or will care for, my people. That makes me glad! Who knows, we may even have “mutual patients! I will include you in my daily prayers.
