A few years ago I worked as a Patient Care assistant on a Med Surg Floor. One day I was preparing to clean up a patient who had been incontinent (BM). The doctor came in and inquired about what I was about to do so I told him. Anyway, the doctor then proceeded to turn the patient over and clean her bottom. I assisted him by handing him the soap, washcloths etc.... Not only did he wash her bottom, he changed her under-pad and even applied some cream. and get this... He was talking to her the entire time... omg.. he was multitasking! When he left the room the patient said to me " wow that was embarrassing". LOL
Throughout my time working in that facility I noticed that this doctor was loved by all of his patients and respected by all staff. He truly cared about his patients and took pride in his work.
It is so very rare to hear of stories like these, let alone witness one.
So I have to ask.
Have any of you ever witnessed any such thing or have any stories to share about great doctors?
