We tend to forget to show our appreciation to a doctor who although did not treat us personally did so to our loved ones during difficult times and helped us as much as them, That was my case with dr Lechin, in the long hours in the hospital waiting room, when my husband was in the ICU, latter in his room, and in our visits in the hospital, we wife’s many times feel more like mom’s when dealing we our husband’s! And are the ones that do most of the talking.
Dr Lechin was just a wonderful in all this, and thank you!
