My Gp - So Kind and Understanding

In all the years I've had my stammer no Doctor I've had has been as kind as my present GP to truly understand the needs I have help calm my mind During one of my early appointments he asked me what he do when I block no Doctors had ever asked that before felt real connection so easier to talk Since then have felt real release when I've had appointment to go and see this GP, he so much made me at ease even when cancer diagnosed felt so free When stammer worsened after during treatment he suggested therapy even though I not keen so after persuasion I decided to have it which initially at least progress was seen Even in early days of Covid I had a cough so got phone appointment for Dr to call again felt at ease to speak with him usually hate phone, speech no good at all Such blessing to receive kindness with understanding along the way brings a peace deep inside so tomorrow can be a better day! (This is written to illuminate an experience I went through that showed me the kindness and compassion and warmth of my local GP.)

I've been blessed with a great GP too, Gordon, and it took time to find him. Did you know Joe Biden had a stammer as a child and had to work hard to overcome it? I'm really glad you have a good doctor. Well penned, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn

Also, I had a lisp as a child and had speech therapy for it. I have an "open bite," so we figured out another way to make the "s" sound. I'm really glad I had the therapy!

oh Gordon how wonderful that you found a compassionate GP and you feel at ease to be able to speak to him confidently and with out stress of your stammer. One of my fave films is the King's Speech, just so happy for you that you are able to speak freely with an understanding medical practitioner on your side:-) hugs jan xx
