Laura Vater: Don’t underestimate the little things
Laura Vater shared a post on X:
“Don’t underestimate the little things. Like remembering a patient was taking a special trip, or had a wedding, or was meeting a new grandchild. Make a brief note in their chart and follow up next time you see them.
This helps me hold onto the humanity of my patients, and my own.”
