As a medical student, I have been assigned to follow many different doctors. Some good, some bad, some care, some don't etc... Med students get to see doctors from a different perspective. "Behind the scenes" in a way. I get to see how they really feel about their patients, the reasoning for their decisions, and how they handle conflicts. I consider myself very fortunate that I got to do my ob/gyn rotation with Dr. Hunt.
I say it to my friends all the time that every woman NEEDS to have a doctor like Dr. Hunt. She cares very deeply about her patients and their total well being. In treating her patients she makes sure she addresses all aspects of health starting with the diet and exercise pillars. Something that most physicians simply skip over. She showed me how empowering our medical education can be if we only apply it correctly. Following protocols and guidelines is a good thing but it was very nice to see such a great example of a doctor that thinks outside of the box and goes the extra mile for their patients. Whether it's a mini psychosocial counseling session for a pregnant patient trying to balance her pregnancy and work with a husband that is away all week, diet and exercise with a patient that is less than informed, or doing a thorough research on hormones and the best delivery methods for her patient population that most physicians would just brush off as "out of scope".
