Today i had to take a history...
this patient was diagnosed with Rheumatoid athritis this year..
He has swelling wrist, knuckles, ankles and knee.. and it is painful..
He can't walk far, he can't put on his own socks, he can't even eat with his spoon and fork..
he said he had to depend on his wife every moment...
his wife was there when we took the history. she was so nice, in fact i can see the love from her eyes , and care for her husband..
sigh.. such a nice couple..
i hope he gets well from his physiotherapy.

After takin the history,
i teared a little..
:(
