Dr. Involved

When Kevin saw Dr. Skinner for a check-up before chemotherapy last Tuesday, she let us read what she would be presenting to the tumor board the following day.

While Kevin napped through some of this treatment, I poured through the pages.

I, of course, retrieved a pad of little sticky notes from one of the nurses and posted several questions and suggestions throughout the document.

We were surprised when Dr. Skinner came in a little later to answer those questions and use the suggestions to further tweak the document. That's a huge difference over Lafayette. There it was rare to lay eyes on either the doctor or the nurse practitioner on a treatment day and more unusual still to see either in the infusion area.

I like the attention and involvement she gives to Kevin, his treatment and our concerns about making a good decision about that treatment.
