“Why do you care so much?“

That was the question he asked after I discussed the need to take his medications and make a few lifestyle changes.

He was asked to see me as a last resort.

“We all die eventually “ he continued.

I looked at him.

And paused.

That was a deep question.

“But there is a way to die. After living long and well. “ I responded.

I told him about the possibility of living well using the knowledge we have now to be able to fulfill his God-given purpose.

We then spoke about his dreams to own a fancier car and move to a smaller town.

We spoke about ways to lower his blood pressure naturally and why he should still take his medications while we work together to reduce them with lifestyle hacks.

The conversation ended on a good note.“You really care, doc!“ Thank you.

I’ll never forget. That day our slogan was imprinted on my heart.

Care, sincerely! That’s our motto here at Livingspring Family medical center where we empower our patients to live a better quality and quality of life.
