Dr. Martin was not only thorough in asking questions in regard to how I'm doing, but was also perceptive to my emotional status, probably better than I was today. In other words, she asked the right questions and went further to help me get in touch all the thoughts swirling around in my brain! I appreciate her thoughtful approach. I appreciated that she questioned if I would like to meet the Chaplain. I very much valued the time I spent withIan, too.
