I have never had a doctor show empathy for the disease that caused my bone pain. He actually apologized to me for having suffered for so many years. It was really touching to have someone acknowledge that this was something that I am not in control of. He gave me hope. I really appreciate the time he took listening to me and letting me feal heard.
