Dr Anne Stephenson: Once upon a time, I would have taken this patient on. But I’m tired now
I call M from the waiting room.
He’s not one of my regulars. This is our first appointment.
For a 62-year-old, he has a youthful, thick thatch of dark hair. But the deep lines etched into his face and his emaciated frame tell a different story.
As we walk to my room, he says, “Well… do I have a few stories to tell you!”
