Would it be weird to get my doctor a “Thank you” card?

Physician Responded

F24, diagnosed Systemic Sclerosis/UCTD.

My rheumatologist sent out a letter in the mail that she is moving states, and my appointment on Monday will be the last I have with her.

She is the first doctor that took me seriously after years of searching for answers. She ordered all the tests & was finally able to tell me what was wrong with me and start me on treatment. Her bedside manner has been lovely for the 1.5 years I’ve been seeing her, and I’m sad to see her go but wish her all the best!

I’d like to give her a simple thank you card on my last visit. Nothing crazy, just a hallmark & a personal note expressing my gratitude & that her impact will stick with me. Would you find this strange or inappropriate? Is there something else you’d rather receive in this scenario?
