Karen and Richard!

Good morning to you both! I am in aaaawwwweeee by the book. I can’t say enough and have told many of my classmates to buy, read it, and see the fascination of your mind. Karen. Richard, I hate doctors. But you have given me reason to re-think my hatred. In the first pages of the book I hated you but then something happened?, you were not the doctor I assumed you were. Thank God for this book. I hope all doctors read it to learn more about treating people as humanly as possible. What you did, Richard, listen and allow Karen a safe venue to share her deepest traumatic experiences was what was needed for Karen to heal. Richard, you need to receive a reward or medal. Karen, you also need to be rewarded for sharing you story and allowing Richard to care. Thank you both! Be proud of your work, Let no man come between you.

Karen, Great job in answering questions!

Dear Darlene,

Thank you so much for all your kind words and compliments! I am touched by your enthusiasm!

I am glad you came to re-think your hatred for doctors and come to an understanding of what a doctor’s job is and how much effort is required to help patients like me. I wasn’t an easy case to treat. There are good doctors out there! I hope you find one, too!

Dr. Baer most certainly deserves an award for treating me! We are very proud of our work together. I hope more doctors read our story. I believe that through my story many doctors may come to realize the effects of child abuse and learn how to treat their abused patients appropriately.

Have a great day!

Karen
