Providence Patient
Dr. V is fantastic. She is a model of what an effective physician should be. Most doctors treat you like a number, particularly those in marginalized communities. However, Dr. V genuinely cares. No one is that good of an actress and she exudes the concepts of health and care. She should be your spokes person for Providence. She heals the whole person and that contributes to the physical concerns when you feel like someone cares.
