Today I went for my annual OB-GYN appointment. Usually, I would imagine, this would not be the highlight of someone's day. However, those are women who are not patients of Dr. Chen.
When I went into the examining room, the first thing she asked me was if I was pregnant. When I said no, she asked me when I was going to have children. (She loves kids so much, I don't think she could imagine a women not having a child.) This led us into a fifteen to twenty conversation where she really listened to my thoughts and gave me some really good, and practical, advice. None of it was medical talk. Meaning, not once did she mention that my eggs are all but dead on the vine and if I don't hurry, I'm going to be too sorry too late. She was so kind and this one reason why I absolutely adore her. No matter how busy she is, that she might have been up all night delivering a child, she always makes you feel like she has all day to spend with you.
She did tell me that I ought to have kids, because they would be cute. I think she thought they would be cute, because she was really digging my mink puff ball barrette. What she said was, "You ought to have kids. They'll be really cute. Now, ugly babies. That is a reason to not want to have kids. And some women, they have really ugly babies. But you, don't worry, you will have cute ones."
See what I mean? I mean, its obvious that she is the best doctor in the whole world.
