Hi Jen- I know what you mean about wanting to have rapport with your Drs. Its lucky that you foudn that with Dr. Kim... however it doesn't mean that you won't be getting the best care if you don't have that personal connection. Many Drs. can be reeeeeally socially awkward-- especially the really really intelligent ones! Those kind of smarts don't always translate into people smarts... Your previous surgeon sounds like a rare bird! This is what I've encountered anyway on my journey and also because my Dad is a Dr. too. MY RO was so rude and inappropraiate and one of the most incompasionate people I"ve ever met BUT she is considered one of the best in her feild so I just had to deal with her weirdness....I'm so sorry that you have to go through treatment again. Its just really hard. I can only imagine. I'm thinking of you and praying for you to have a full and 100% successful recovery from this- Soon you'll be done with it once and for all.

KATE
