I received this note on Facebook in Sept. 2011 and the second photo in Feb. 2012:

Hi doctor!

Yesterday I saw you on facebook, and this remind me that I have not thanked you for helping my mom gave birth to me after two days in the delivery room (I was so tired, mom and dad too! ). So I decided to send you a picture of me to show you how much I’m cute and full of life! I wish to take a picture with you to put in my keepsake box. My mom forgot to take one. 

I don’t know if you remember me, because I know you help a lot of babies being born, but me, I will never forget the first man I’ve seen in my life!

I love you Dr. Abdessamad!

Oh… I saw that you had a broken arm, I’m sorry. I hope that you will heal quickly!

Grateful patients make my day

When I arrived at my office this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find homemade sweets nicely wrapped in a holiday theme. A grateful patient and her husband has written the sweetest words in a “thank you” card. It made my day. This was enough to put me in the holiday spirit.

It is important to be reminded of the impact we have on other people’s lives. It motivates me to continue doing the best I can and reminds of the core values that motivated to pursue medicine as a career.

"Thank You" card from my patient

After a long on call night at the hospital, delivering a baby that died inside his mother’s womb, diagnosing a patient with advanced stage cancer and metastasis to the vagina, I arrive at my office in my scrubs (I usually like to wear a suite to my office), tired and with red eyes after two hours of sleep.

My first patient of the day gave me a grateful hug, a “Thank You” card, and a thoughtful gift. That made all the difference and reminded me why I love doing what I do.
