Our family doctor has retired. Her colleague organised a surprise farewell party for her and invited all her patients. Though we were told to bring food for four, potluck style; there were still too much to eat and drink.
Our doctor was happy to see her patients and chatted with everyone. She gave a touching thank you speech. Her husband also gave a speech thanking us for being great patients to his wife. It was a jovial event.
I got the doctor a book and left my gift on a table full of flowers and gifts. That's when I saw a beautiful cake. What an appropriate cake. :-)
Speaking of the book, it was recommended by the book shop owner. It seems interesting. I would go check the library for it.
I never thought I would attend my doctor's retirement party. Living in the countryside does make a difference. People are more personal and there is more human touch than living in a big city. I hope the new doctor will be just as warm as the retired Doctor Thery.
