After 35 years of serving his patients, this doctor had no choice but to call it quits. No, it wasn’t a sailboat or golf course that beckoned him away from his duty, but cancer. This doctor knew he or she wouldn’t be able to recover… so they penned this letter and sent it out to all patients. It’s a touching note and a reminder that the doctors who help us are people who have their own issues to deal with too.
“My profound sadness is only increased by the fact that I will miss attending to my patients.” You might need some tissues for this…

“As my own time comes to an end, I want to thank you.”
Wow. What a heartbreaking, but truly touching letter. Hopefully this doctor is lucky enough to be under the care of a doctor that’s half as passionate about what they do as they are.
