There are so many times that patients praise and thank US as physicians, and WE feel so gratified. But, when WE are in the position that WE need the help or WE are in a crisis, we feel a little uncomfortable! I am a very humbled and grateful physician. A year and a half ago, my husband of 22 years left me. The divorce became final 10 months ago. This left me in the position of being a single mother of five children aged 5 to 15, and left me with a large amount of legal debt in the process. It also meant that we had to move out of our 3000 sq ft home into a 1350 sq ft rental home, leaving behind the only home and neighborhood my children had ever known.
Testimonials
Hello, I'm G M, a recipient of your benevolent assistance. I'll be 81 in 2 weeks. With me is my wife P.
We all took an oath that included Primum Non Nocere, 'first do no harm'. Harm can be done in 2 ways. One, of course, by direct intentional action. The other, by turning away, ignoring another person's need or cry for help.
PAA responds to the second issue by making it's resources available and by not ignoring one of its' peers needs. By not turning away. Dr. Chandran and his Committee has been like a true caring friend and Pearle and I are forever grateful. As he said to me when we first met and he reviewed my situation 'we never know what's around the corner.'
I would like to express my sincere and extreme gratitude for your help. Without your aid…well, I shudder to think about the consequences. You basically saved me. And about all I can say is THANK YOU. Though I feel something in my heart way above and beyond those words. I can’t find the words, maybe there are none for that extreme feeling of your caring, giving and what you did for me.
– Dr. LR
