The Kindness of a Doctor

"Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way.  And a sense of humor.  It's like medicine - very healing."
~ Max Irons

A woman I know had some routine blood work done, but worried about her results as some of us tend to do.  She was told that the results would be sent to the doctor in three or four days.  As the tests had been run on a Thursday, she figured she would not hear anything until the following week.  But at almost 7 pm on Friday night, her incredibly wonderful and compassionate doctor emailed her with the good news that all was well.  Obviously, the doctor could have started his weekend at 5 pm or earlier, but he didn't.  When this woman emailed the doctor thanking him, he replied, "just sharing kindness."
