He was irascible and opinionated and I didn’t always agree with his opinions, but he was also dedicated and intelligent and genuinely cared about people’s health, and his stubbornness about that stood us all in good stead; and, many many years ago, he was the Obs/Gyn who delivered my brother.
Agree. I did not know of his evangelical background at the time, but I have always felt he put country ahead of religious or political loyalty. That is the definition of a patriot!
Dr. C. Everett Koop is the only appointee I remember from President Reagan term.He is the only Surgeon General I know.I applaud his stand on tobacco which forever changed the attitude of cigarettes in the United States.

He will be missed.

This is brilliant stuff. I wish, when famous people died, that more cartoonists would do insightful tributes showing them at the gates of heaven.
