Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Here is a simple and easy idea. Take a picture of your family and tape it on the left side of a thank you note. You and the kids can make them yourself with your printer, and say something like, From our family to yours. A card and a picture last alot longer than food. If you feel the staff is cold, that sounds kind of sad. I realize everyone is on a tight schedule, and can seem impersonal but a smile and a few words to put a patient at ease is part of the job. If you dont like your job, or its business as usual, you shouldnt be in the medical field. Since your medical staff is such a drive, popping something in the mail is an easy solution. I see my RD in sept, so maybe I will bring a pan of brownies in, but thats only because they are only 5 minutes away. They are never cold to me, and I should show my thanks there. If they were cold, Id be finding another place to go. Blessing to everyone, Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I agree with you on this.......I always take a Christmas gift in to the support staff at my doctors office because in my opinion they have gone above and beyond the call of duty for me......I appreciate them and my doctor.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I'm gonna bring some cookies and a card to my Sept. appointment, and try to avoid the whining and crying this time :0). Plus if I come bearing gifts perhaps they might overlook the fact that my 2 year old is coming with me... Thanks for the good ideas!SamOn Aug 28, 2005, at 2:26 AM, dbargad@... wrote:Here is a simple and easy idea. Take a picture of your family and tape it on the left side of a thank you note.
