Dr Pae, became my GP when I was 15 and pregnant. She was pregnant herself when I gave birth in September 1976, but knowing how scared I was and without support, she came to Essex hospital to deliver my baby, who was placed up for adoption, as was the norm then.
She help me through an extremely tough time and although it was frowned upon she gave me time to hold my son and stayed with me for an hour or more while I filled my minds eye with my baby, we counted fingers and toes and she cared.
I met up with her some years ago and felt proud to tell her I was now a CEO because it mattered to me that she knew she had a part in that.
My son and I have been in close contact for some years now, but I will always remember and have a special place in my heart for a doctor/woman, who showed me compassion and care when unwed mothers were frowned upon and hidden away.
