Taking time to show gratitude for compassionate care is important. It can be done any time of year but the holiday season offers a perfect opportunity.

When active treatment ends and you’re no longer facing regimented appointments, do you ever think about your medical team? The majority of people would probably answer no to that question. Not many want to think about their doctors and nurses, in fact, feeling overjoyed at having no contact, especially in the case of cancer related treatment, is probably normal. But, I’m of a different mindset.
I think of my medical team often. I appreciate all they did to help me through a very difficult time in my life and I want them to know how grateful I am for the attention they gave me.
Doctors generously dedicate their lives to helping others. They work hard through years of school and residency to gain training and board certification. As they choose to enter the medical field, they know long hours and time away from their families is a given. It takes a special kind of person to dedicate themselves to a medical career.
