RIP Dr. Griffin. Sorry to hear about your Doctor passing away. He sounds like he was one of the best, im sure he knew that you appreciated him.
I had a doctor like that also, pulmonary doctor, who cared and took the extra step. IF it wasnt for him and the interest he took in my pulmonary problems early after 9/11, im pretty sure i would be one of the many who are no longer here. He was killed by a hit and run driver.
