Such a great story. You two sure have a long friendship /history. You describe his style of practice perfectly. I enjoyed caring for his patients. His smile, always made time for nursing team.
Thank you so much for drawing my attention to this. When Fritz and Pat had their farm in Carolina, RI, I was in practice in Richmond and had the pleasure of being their Veterinarian. From midnight stories of his youth while sprawled on the barn floor replacing a prolapsed uterus on a Ewe who had just given birth, to sad days saying goodbye to one of their dear dogs who had relapsed with malignant lymphoma, and all of the routine visits in between, we grew fond of each other. He told me many stories about the days in Albany, as well. He is the only person that I know who treated more cases of Leptospirosis as a physician than I did as a Veterinarian, due to the epidemic during the urban renewal projects in Albany. I miss them now that they moved to Vermont. I will be ordering his book as soon as I click “send.” All the best
David, you were so fortunate to have thes experiences with Fritz. What a remarkable and varied career he has had. As my Dad used to say when he admired someone, "He touched all the bases."
Ed, I remember the name from my days as a n x-ray tech in R.I. I am correcting your link under the picture of the book, this is the link to Amazon, so others can enjoy his stories. https://a.co/d/27iDpsl
Ed: Did Dr.Vohr work with Hospice? Sheila talked about a Dr.Vohr frequently and she cherished him during her Visiting Hospice Nurse days. Another very warm story from you...
Brings back fond memories. Fritz was there to greet me and guide me when I arrived at RIH as an external. He is,as you describe him, no BS guy and I enjoyed many subsequent years of working together.

Yes, Leslie. An unforgettable treasure. Fun to have as a friend

Yes, David, he did. Actually, he started the first palliative care program at RIH. A Good man, good friend
