your doctor? Today I did. And I was truly surprised. Today was my final appointment after my c-section. I was in and out no problems. My doctor got busy with another patient. But the nurses came out to have a look at my son. One of them hand me a bag. Inside, was a card and a box. The card read Congratulations and best wishes. Inside the box was a silver spoon engraved with "Special Delivery and my dr.'s name"
Makes me wish I had her as my dr. when my daughter was born.

Yes, I do, not only once but on several occasions. Actually he is our family doctor. Most often when I bring my son for check up, my son often goes home with some gifts from our doctor. I who often accompany my son during check up, also have received some items from him. This is probably why he has a lot of clients considering that he is very kind and of course a very good doctor.

Ahh, that is great now he will have a treasure to keep and I think it is great that your Doctor was kind enough to do such a thing. You must have been special because I have never heard of a doctor giving a card much less a gift. The only thing I have known doctors to give is a hard time and a few samples..lol

That is so great. You must have a wonderful doctor. I have never received any gifts like that before. I am glad that you did.

I think that is a very good business practice. It probably isn't intended that way by the doctor. If I were a doctor who delivered babies, it would probably be because I thought new life was wonderful. I think it would be natural to give some small gift to the new parents. You have, after all, just charged a lot to their insurance company so some small sign of congratulations for their new child shouldn't seem like an undue burden.
