I would give an even higher score if available. He is very down to Earth with a great bedside manner. Extremely knowledgeable and explains things well which is very comforting and hopeful with the challenges of a cancer diagnosis.

He's normally terrific, insightful, just what one wants in a specialist in this area; I am always glad to se him. Neither of us was communicating very well in that particular brief conference. I have some trouble by now--less than 24 hours later--specifying why I came out upset, instead of supported (normally, that is my primary emotional response after a session with this provider); I am clear that in his view I was not the best patient he had had in a long day; the ancillary staff, though, were wonderful as usual. (And I did my best; I don't do well when I'm feeling uncertain that I'm getting through; I work day and nights with words; I have successfully practiced in two human services; I consider those among my best opportunities, helping people, even those who are hard to help (sometimes hair-pullingly so. I therefore respect all people who practice--who work hard--to help other people, especially when other people may be driving them up a tree.) But I do think no caregiver should assume anything about the unseen behaviors of any patient--and I think the doctor had had a pretty long, hard day. I do generaly think you should have confidence in the patient's truth telling; I'm Quaker (Friends); this is important to me. (I have been lied to; I know how upsetting that is. I did tell my practitioner the truth to the best of my ability yesterday as usual, and I hope as always.) I do believe that people should tell their doctors the precise truth, as best they can; if questions are skeptical, interrupted, or unclear, that is a bit hard to do. (Again, important to me. I try, didn't always feel I was getting to the ends of my sentences or that I sounded sincere and truthful.) I woke up today still sad and surprised; it was just one of those things. We'll be fine next time; I so think, so believe, and so hope. Communication is everything; it could be that neither of us was at our highest levels in that area yesterday. It was a late--well, mid--Friday afternoon; we were both tired and sometimes talking over each other. We normally do very well--this is someone I respect and admire--and I truly believe we will do well in the future. I did feel disbelieved or unbelieved at times; that was startling; I do my best to report; otherwise, what's the point of wasting the doctor's or my own time? I also always expect that the doctor--any doctor--will be thinking toward the next session and that this will be a mostly positive plan or consideration. But again, this is one conference against many successful ones. And sometimes everyone can be unclear, frustrated, tired, and worried; my conference was mid-to-late afternoon at the end of the week. I had the feeling I was kind of the last straw in a day full of straws; it happens. (And my present surprise/shock will diminish with the passage of time. I'm overly sensitive. But most people consider me someone who likes people, admires professionals in areas as complex and frightening as cancer treatments, and tries to be cooperative.) And I felt uncertain what was going on; it may have been a better conference than I remember or felt at the time. This is someone I trust. Yesterday, my feelings were mixed, but I do hope we'll return to the norm, which has been quite satisfying. I had hoped he believed me--and believed in me. I certainly felt sure he had had a or some frustrating conferences, and I felt at times that I was almost underscoring those. It was by no means horrible; it did make me wonder whether I was telling the truths of my experience. I was; there is no point in lying; it only leads to chaos. I have, previously, had good to excellent conferences with this provider; I expect that will continue in the future. It was late in his day; I am like most people when I want to give a precise response to a complex question; the importance of the questions can create an inability to make the response harder than it should be; I probably need more thinking time, plus more clarify in statements, though I do try in that area. It just wasn't the kind of conference we normally have. I think most of them have been fine--excellent. I do wonder if he will be glad to see me next time; given the number of conferences he has, I think he'll have forgotten the discordance we seem to have stumbled into this one time--and that was not hopeless, just some of the time; I had trouble finishing sentences. I'm determined to continue and improve this partnership; I imagine he is either determined or handing me off to another doctor. I may be over-reacting. I was kind of shaken by the conference; I hadn't had that experience before and don't expect it in the future. There are just some times that don't work out well. It happens to everyone.
