Planetree Conference 6 Part 3 of 3

Last installment!

3 Doctors – Dr. Davies, Jenkins, and Hunt.  3 young doctors who banded together and beat the odds (they grew up in the ghettos of Newark)

Dr. Davies

- “young minds aiming for something you can’t see is very tough” –

- They are not smarter than the rest, just teamwork

- Enjoy ER because he treat patients they way he would treat his mother – he imagine every patient is like his mother

- Nurses are always right!

Dr. George Jenkins

- 13 years old had bad crooked teeth, the dentist treated him so well, he aspire to be like him – you never know, one act of kindness can change someone’s life forever

- Started a foundation when graduated even though they were broke, because they remember where they come from

Dr. Hunt

- You never know when a little thing to do change someone’s life – that’s the point, you never know

- There were so many times this has happen

- The kid at the back who just need the extra attention

- Every time a patient look at the watch, it’s the most insulting thing, it means you are not on time

- When patient talks about their family wrote down on the margin, next time will ask them how they are, it’s just good medicine, because others has done that to him

- Patient story: she was a complainer, but a nurse who spend time talking to her, eventually she become a solid supporter of the hospital, sometimes patients just need some ‘love’

If we have these kind of doctors, we can all go home early and sleep well!
