I wanted to share this moment because it reminded me why, after all these years, going to work has never truly felt like work and why my practices have always felt more like home. ā¤ļø
Today, one of our beautiful patients returned from her break we gave her in between her procedure , When she came back, she was carrying the most beautiful little gifts for the whole team
She said they would bring us good luck, happiness and peace, and that they would suit the decor of our brand-new practice and help make it feel like home š„°
To be held in someoneās thoughts when they are simply going about their own day is one of the purest forms of kindness.
Every time she comes for her treatment visits, she thanks us for doing so much for her. And honestly, sometimes I wonder, āWhat did we do that was so special? We are only doing our job.ā
Perhaps that is the answer.
Just do your job the best way you can, with the best intention you can. You may not realise how deeply another person feels that intention.
Her small act of kindness did not end when she handed us those charms. I told the team. I shared it with my family and friends. And now I am sharing it with all of you.That is how kindness travels. š
š People often ask why I remain so energetic and happy.
It is difficult to explain, except to say: how could work feel empty when the people you care for return that care so generously?
My patients hug me, thank me. They care about me. They trust me and remind me that they were thinking about me...
Of course, every day is not perfect. Even our best intentions may not always create the outcome we hoped for.
Good intentions do not replace skill, responsibility or accountability. But when your genuine intention is always to help and you listen, remain honest and take responsibility people can feel it.
When we stop treating patients like transactions and start treating them like people, they often give that humanity back to us.
The walls and decor may create a beautiful practice, but it is the people inside who make it feel like home. ā¤ļø
