“My love and respect for you runs deeper than a medical need. You have always shown true concern and affection for me since our very first meeting even when I was behaving in an unbecoming manner. You took it in stride. My respect for you is genuinely greater than for any other medical professional and honestly for many people I call friends. From the very being of our relationship you have given me that same love and respect.”
