Appreciation

Yesterday I had a visitor from Saudi Arabia, a well known woman who is actively involved in the womens’ rights movement. She was sent to see me for thinning hair by a former patient I did some 10 years earlier. She came with a message for me, “Tell Dr. Rassman that for the past 10 years, I have been enjoying the hair that he gave me more than I would have ever expected”.

This message epitomizes what I experience every day, a sense of worth communicated by heartfelt patient appreciation.
