Wink Joy column

I just wanted to share my thankfulness about what kind and compassionate doctors I have.
I got a call from my M.D. this morning who was shopping at Walmart. He was going to look in the Honolulu Walmart for some over the counter skin cream he suggested the other day. He also said his mother was going to another Walmart on another part of the island to check on her way to Honolulu. If they are successful he will drop it off tonight. On Friday I told him Monday is my shopping day, so I will see if a local pharmacy has it. Imagine that !! My doctor is helping me do my shopping !! What a guy !!
Once my naturopath came all the way from the other side of the island to make a house call without charge and bring me some special cough medicine when my bronchitis wouldn't go away.
Another time my dermatologist stepped up to the plate when the surgeon wouldn't respond to my page about a wound that split open. I went to the dermatologist's office where she treated and repaired it. Then she took me to the hospital pharmacy and spoke with the pharmacist and choose something for me to use at home everyday to prevent infections.
