My Patient

She has been my patient since 2007. I succeeded in treating her peptic ulcer disease. However, lately, we haven’t seen each other.

Last Sunday, she came to my house. My sister did not allow her to see me, because according to my sister, last Sunday was my day off and I needed some downtime. She made another appointment with me for her on Monday. That would be was fine.

The day after, when the patient saw me at home, she showed me some lab test results from another doctor. She appeared to be anxious about the results. I slowly and calmly explained each value in the result papers to her. In the end, she felt relieved. She said that when she received the test results from the lab, and then she gave them to her doctor, the physician didn’t tell her anything except for one issue. That was she was still alright. ??

She has suffered from chest pain for a few months. That’s why she sought medical assistance, but the general practitioner's answer was useless. For some healthcare providers, don’t they know what their duties are or are they indifferent toward their patients? Poor her, my patient! My poor patient!

was is past tense, you are talking about how you felt

?? I am not following the story here. Do you mean, "the physician only told her one thing: that she was alright. He did not explain the lab results thoroughly so that she would not worry."

"Poor her". Poor sounds odd with him, her, them, it, I don't know why! Poor me/you/baby/Lisa (a real name) are commonly said.
