Dr Yao is generally very busy with other colleagues or trainees or associates but this time we were alone and I had her entire attention. My questions were thoroughly answered. My medical problem was once again discussed as different options to resolve it. I did want to know the worst and the best of the situation and Doctor was open about this: we reviewed what had been done, what was more beneficial, what other options to explore...

Full disclosure: like most men (ask my wife) I am a big baby when it comes to pain. Dr. Yao, was so very patient. The trick with these injections is to depress the syringe very slowly so the liquid dissipates and doesn't cause back pressure pain. She took her time, let the lidocaine work and checked in to make sure I was OK.
It would be pushing it to say that I looked forward to my next treatment. I am certainly not dreading it and I know that my hands are...
