Meet our Medical Assistant at Plum Health
Medical Assistant at Plum Health DPC
Everyone this is Chris, Chris this is everyone! He’s our amazing Medical Assistant and he helps us give injections 💉 and draw blood among other things.
You might be thinking 🤔 “why is Chris holding a plate of cookies 🍪?” Well, he had a small bet with one of our patients who bruises easily during blood draws. She said that she would definitely bruise, regardless of how good the blood draw was - she just always bruises, she said. Chris made a friendly wager of a plate of cookies 🍪 and our patient delivered after “the best blood draw she’s ever had.” Later that week, a plate of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies found their way to our office!
In all seriousness, it’s great to have Chris as a part of our team. He does excellent work and is a great person to know. We can’t wait to see you for your next appointment,
-Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Raquel Orlich, and Chris Lake
