Video Quote: Louise Di Virgilio finds that her doctor's compassion and willingness to listen help her to cope with multiple chronic illnesses
Susan Stamberg: "Some physicians establish very close relationships with older patients. Louise Di Virgilio talks about her doctor, Thomas Lapine, and his approach."
Louise Di Virgilio: "I've gone to other doctors, and they're very cold and they don't...I like to give suggestions to doctors. Because I know my body and they don't. My doctor will say, 'Well, what do you think it is, Louise? How do you feel? How does it react?' Whereas, I've gone to other doctors and they don't -- well I'm just like a stick there, they just say -- 'well, this is it, I can't do it, I don't know anything about it.' It's just, it's a different thing, it's hard to explain. But my doctor is a person, with feelings, compassion. And because you're old, you still want someone to have feeling and compassion for you."
