In November, I suffered a fairly major heart attack. Once the emergency phase was over I came under the care of Dr Petrie. My experience was one of being valued and treated as a human being and not just another "case". When Dr Petrie said it was good to see me dressed normally (rather than in gown or pyjamas) he seemed truly to mean it. His letter to me promising further treatment began with a single sentence that was personal to me. It has been a delight to be treated by this gentleman; I know nothing of his professional competence (though I have utter and complete faith in it) but I believe I would have to go far to meet another physician with any more care for his patients. Thank you Dr Petrie.
