This doctor ought to be teaching other doctors about presence and attuning with patients, that thing they term bedside manner. I personally love this doctors way--some may be disturbed by an environmental factor (of how many kleenexes he used) and I was a bit but seeing the little boy laugh and the playfulness of it made me happy. When pain arrives at our doorstep in whatever form, some aspect of it generally sucks and we want to be without it. At times, it is also perfect and desirable to just stay with it. What I love about this is that the doctor doesnt remove the pain. He just shifts the assemblage point and brings in another experience that supercedes the experience of pain for the moment. Too much of that something else can feel like ones experience is being invalidated. Its all quite a delicate balance of how to be fully with someone and also inject a new element that can help someone see, experience and feel new perspectives. Or just simply laugh and experience moments of joy simultaneous with pain.
