Description
Dora was already a professional patient when I first met her as a day case on the gastroenterology ward. Her sharp mind and repeated appearances at MRCP exams equipped her with knowledge of her condition far superior to that of any junior doctor she encountered. To her, I was just another transient doctor who would clerk her in and then move on. She had become accustomed to juniors changing every six months and saw no need in developing relationships with them.
