What vibes would you get from a wimpish hug (very slight hug) from your oncologist?

    The hug was one more sign
    I am not looking to change a doctor because of a hug, but like a handshake that is weak, i wonder about the lack of feeling when being hugged. What kind of person is she? To me it was one more sign about the doctor's personality or character. I decided to be fair and give her a chance.

    Something is not right and I cannot identify it, so I am going to run quickly. How could I be so impressed with her and happy that she is my doctor on my first visit and then on the second visit, she was not the same person? That bothered me.

    Hugs,

    I hug most of my doctors and
    I hug most of my doctors and they hug me back or even hug me first. Usually they say, " I think you need a hug". I have been blessed with not only the best, in my opinion, doctors, but, the most compassionate and caring doctors. So, thank you God for putting me in their hands. I love them all!

    one good thing
    At least you are able to e-mail her for communication.....but, it sounds like another doctor might be better for you. Our oncologist should be one that we trust and feel comfortable with.
