The doc was a jokester and we really got along well. I'd throw a wise crack at him and he'd come right back with one of his own. Plus, we hit it off a bit from the get-go as I was running around his neighborhood in the Philippines back in the day. He said where I used to hang out was about 20-mins from his house. Of course, he was only 13 years old at the time.

As stated above, Lynn's pain would sometimes shoot from her lower back to her left butt-cheek. When he started sticking pins in her ear, I said, "Doc, I think you misunderstood ... the pain is in her REAR, not her ear!"

It cracked me up just before he got started, he dragged a book out of his desk and started flipping through the pages. He then looked at Lynn and apologized for the delay, then told her she was his first patient and he wanted to double check and make sure he was doing this correctly. I told him, "Hey, SOMEBODY has to be first, ya' got'ta start somewhere!" I really liked the guy.
