How appropriate this post is for me today! I just left my doctor of 6 years due the her declining "bed side" manners!

Lovely blog - I'm stopping by from SITS>

I try to be nice to everyone but it's tough when there are some very nasty people. I just tell my self "Walk on."

One additional reason (to treat patients nicely) may not be as good a reason as the ones you have cited, but it is also true that doctors who communicate with and treat their patients better also get sued less!
As an attorney, I try to also practice what you are preaching here by treating my clients kindly! Thank you for your time and effort in producing such an uplifting, inspiring site!

Wonderful message--something I need to hear this holiday season.

Very true. Thanks for the reminder.

LOVE this! Thank you for posting it. I'm slow to comment lately. Trying to get back in the swing. Unless I have to pick up a child at some activity, I consider everything else cancelable (is that a word...I don't know). I think God didn't put us on the earth to be busy, but to be His physical body to love others. So not listening to others in need, is like telling God he no longer has to listen to my heart. No thanks...I need Him too much. Holly:)

Thoughtful post, like your's usually are! It's a good reminder. Sometimes it's too easy to lapse into a poor "bedside manner". It's hard to be compassionate all the time, but it's so important.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Without sounding too "full of myself" this is one of my strengths. I think having some of my own fears/issues makes me more understanding of others that do as well. That doesn't mean that I can't get fed up when someone is rude or can't do their job...but, I'm one of those people that will help the elderly lady load her groceries into her car. It makes me feel good.

So true! How many times have we all witnessed someone treating someone poorly over something silly, if only they would step back and calm down.
Cheers,

This is a great reminder. I notice myself getting short with people during the day at work,or on the street, work, cabs etc. It's like the idea of walking a mile in another person shoes and then you get an entirely new perspective.
