Mom Hides Camera To Find Out Why Doctor Insists On Being Alone With Kids
She had never heard of this before. It was a strange request to be sure.
She wanted to stay behind but he clearly knew better than her - he was the doctor after all. She could only wait in the waiting room - she wanted to know what was going on behind closed doors.
Hard Times
Jennifer Harris hadn't had it easy.
She had a terrible divorce that would lead her to go to California. But the move was way more stressful than she initially thought. But her daughter was suffering far more than her. But she was strong for a 5-year-old, she had numerous battles.
Sudden Move
Leukemia was a word that instantly gave people sympathy.
The illness was truly devastating and only those who had gone through it could understand. She needed to get Anglea out of the hospital she was currently at.
Huge Opportunity
Jennifer got a career opportunity that she knew she had to take.
After taking it she knew she'd be able to pay for health insurance for her dear daughter. Then the medical bills wouldn't keep them buried in debt. The bonus was the new hospital had an amazing reputation.
The Changeover
Yet she still felt a knot in her stomach as soon as they got to their first appointment with the doctor.
But once the handsome oncologist appeared he flashed a beautiful smile and she felt much better. But then at the end of the appointment, she was asked to leave.
You Want Me To What?
This had never happened before, what was going on?
Why did he want her to leave? There had to be a good reason but she still felt like she shouldn't leave her daughter alone. But he knew better so she finally complied.
Something Different
Her girl was always drained and tired, but she seemed different when she came out of his office.
She was smiling and had a strange look on her face. Like she had been hooked up to a power source. What was going on?
A Simple Plan
But she needed to know what had gone on in the office.
The doctor avoided the question and just told her that her daughter was very strong and that there was nothing to worry about. But her mother's intuition would scream at her to get to the bottom of it.
Finding The Truth
She had a simple plan, she hid a camera in the room when they walked in that would capture everything after she had to leave.
But when she'd finally find out what was going on, she would be in disbelief.
Small Talk
Angela stayed behind with the doctor for a few minutes again.
He smiled at her and walked across the room. Then before her very eyes he started dancing! Jennifer couldn't believe what she had seen. But her daughter's reaction was the best!
Wild Moves
His movements were deliberate and clear.
Jennifer was trying to move like the doctor. She flicked her hands as he did and slid her feet back and forth as he did a perfect moonwalk. The smile that grew across her face made Jennifer want to break down and cry. Suddenly, a nurse came up and patted her on the shoulder.
The Dancing Doctor
Jennifer wanted nothing more than her daughter to be happy and healthy.
She did everything she could to raise their spirits, but in truth, she was just as burnt out as Angela. The nurse smiled as she watched the video. “Oh, I love that one,” she said, pointing as he did an impressive spin. It turns out, the doctor had a secret weapon.
Bringing Joy
He knew firsthand how parents couldn’t always muster the strength to be bubbly and cheerful every single moment of every day.
He knew appointments were tough. So, he would, without fail, block out a little time at the end of each visit to have a moment of levity – just him and the patient. Jennifer burst into tears as he appeared in the waiting room.
Small Things, Big Differences
It might not seem like much to outside eyes. But his actions meant the world.
It was no secret that a positive attitude, including laughter, was vital to recovery. Jennifer felt a swell of gratitude as she saw a tiny smile on Angel’s face. She thanked him over and over again. But once again, his actions surprised her.
So Humble
“No worries, mom,” he said with such humility.
They talked for a while, about his attitudes toward recovery and the fight against cancer. All the while, Angela slowly tried to mimic that day’s dance. The life seemed to pour out of her like never before. There was no doubt they would win this battle!
