Belated Happy New Year 2016!

It had been a busy year in 2015. There are 2,291 person-time visits in my clinic hours in 2015, and I hope it grows over 3,000 this year.  My new year's wish is to sharpen my medical expertise and communication skills. () These two are just never enough for doctors to pursue since medical knowledge is boundless.

To be a good doctor, I'll have to talk the patient into obeying my suggestion of adjusting their way of life in order to get rid of their discomfort. Sometimes the toughest issue I encountered was not patients' physical or medical issue but mental issue. What's more, it's never an easy task to express your empathy sincerely when you have to control the time you spend on each patient accordingly. Sometime it takes time for them to say whatever they want to say. Sometimes patient burst out crying when they mention something really bother them and cause their health problem, it's crucial for them to release their anxiety by sharing them to a doctor they trust, especially for patients with psychological problem. Therefore, I hope to equipped myself with strong interperonal and communication skills.

I will have a new clinic hour starting in Wednesday afternoon since February and chances are good that there will be a Chinese medical pharmacy open this year in TSGH Tingchou branch. We're hoping that more and more patient could benefit from our medical services.

Happy New Year!
