It amazes me to hear patients say “thank you for taking so much time with me”. Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do? Shouldn’t leave my office until you understand your situation and your options.

For the last 11 years my daughter and I do a date night. Started with father/daughter dance and now that she is “too old” for that we do dinner at a nice place. Glad she enjoys spending time with me.

It’s amazing how urologic diseases impact so many. Seems like I am constantly helping Friends and family navigate the system. Not sure how people outside of medicine do it without help. Treat all your patients like family when you can, we all need the help.

If your patients Gleason 6 PCa biopsy isn’t enough tissue for a Genomic test you probably shouldn’t have ordered it in the first place.
