A patient recounts a Zoom consultation with a doctor after a brief "sparknotes" summary of their brain cancer history. The doctor, without seeing lab results, predicted the patient had suppressed natural killer (NK) cell function; the patient felt understood and trusted the clinician. The clip is a short, first-person testimonial emphasizing the clinician’s apparent diagnostic intuition.
I remember doing a zoom consult. Cause I'm, you know, don't live in Austin. I'm a couple hours away. And I kind of told you my story, and I was like, so, you know, when would you be willing to operate on me? And you're like, you know, when you're ready, we can get you scheduled out. And I had told you kind of briefly sparknotes version of my brain cancer story. And you were like, yeah, I guarantee you your natural killer cell function suppressed. And I was like, wait, how did you know? Did someone send you my labs? And you were like, no, I just. I got a feeling. And I was like, this is my guy. Because you hadn't seen my labs, and you knew, and you just understood.
