Hmmmm – well it’s a great question. At this point for me the bar is set pretty low….ANY kind of acknowledgement would be appreciated. When I think of all the sacrifices I’ve made to go into this profession that so many have never had to make – many who have much more disposable income and free time than I have – I wonder why I did it all sometimes…of course, the reward of helping people feel and look better is what makes it all worth it. This is the first I’ve heard of National Doctor’s Day this year. I have heard about it in the past, but I don’t remember when. I don’t think anyone on my staff or any of my patients even knew it was a thing this year. It certainly wasn’t on my calendar. Apr. 5, 2022, at 10:17 pm Reply
