Dr. Christopher Busken patient testimonial

There comes a time in your life when very unexpected journeys happen……this was for me, my name is Lynn White and on Dec. 16, 2024 my life changed drastically.  Taking a trip to the ER only to find that I had a very large blood clot in my left leg………

This journey became something I was not prepared for, feelings of apprehension, panic, uncertainty and fear.

With all of this going on I never realized how important it is to have wonderful people looking after me, caring what I was going through and giving me hope for better days.

I can not begin to say what a wonderful staff the Baptist Hospital system has in San Antonio, everyone from the front desks, nursing staff and physicians could not have been any more caring and to a patient that is very reassuring and comforting.

After a 2 day stay in the Baptist Neighorhood Hospital I was sent to visit a Vasuclar Surgeon and the moment I met him my fears began to  minimize….Dr. Christopher Busken….he will never know how much I owe him, not monetary but my life.

We began a patient relationship of trust and understanding, one of sharing thoughts and emotions, he put me at ease by talking with me, not over me but to me, one on one and it didn’t matter how long I needed to visit, asking questions knowing that he was going to give me an answer I could understand.

Dr. Busken, shared personal experiences that made me realize he was human and understood what I was going through……..he walked me through the procedures that he would be preforming and why he was doing such a procedure…….

As a patient a Doctor does not realize how comforting it is to have them explain and comfort when you are facing the unknown……Dr. Busken is just that kind of a person, yes he is a well known physician but more than that to me, he is a human being, caring, thoughtful and very down to earth…..making my time going through this new phase I am in, easier……..

I think of 2 things he told me at our last follow up……..”Lynn I want you to live a normal life, and I don’t want you to be afraid” he will never know how those words put my mind and heart at ease, even though I knew I would be on this journey for quite a while……..

Thank you Dr. Busken and the Baptist Hospital staff for being who you are and caring for the people who entrust their lives to you.
