I gave my obgyn a gift, I've been dealing with my problem since july of
07. I had multiple mis-diagnosis, hernias, heart attack, and people who
had the same procedure I had done had long recovery which mine was
really quick so when this guy got it right, I wanted him to know I
appreciated him, plus I didn't know if he'd see a card, I wasn't sure if
it would get past the ladies in the office, but I did give the gift to
him during a follow up visit, He seemed to appreciate it very much. I
didn't wrap it I just put it in a nice bag so if his schedule was
busy-it wouldn't cause a problem -- I wanted it to be simple & easy.
I'm glad he liked it.
