We hear so much about the bad doctors but how many of you have doctors who have gone beyond the call of duty or showed compassion?

I have been to a plastic surgeon in regards to hand/elbow problems. Not only is he good medically but also very compassionate. I could say if it wasn't for his support I could have been dead now. I was in a very abusive relationship and this surgeon really helped me. I often came in with injuries, sometimes on short notice, that he treated and not once did he say go see another doctor or go to the hospital. I had one or two bad experiences with being judged at a walk in clinic and became distrustful when seeking medical help. He always asked me how was I feeling and told me once if I had problems come and see him which I knew he meant about the abuse. Unfortunately this surgeon will be retiring mid-summer but his kindness will not be forgotten.
