Foremost among the Finest!

Truly a remarkable human being!

By Stanley Collymore

 

Absolute trust and unfettered cooperation are key characteristics

of every meaningful doctor patient relationship, for without

them nothing of substance really exists. No such schism,

however, did ever raise its ugly head in the several

years that thankfully and most gratefully as well

you’ve been my GP, and I shall eternally be

indebted to you for everything you’ve

professionally done for me coupled

with your innate compassion,

intuitive understanding of my

medical needs and your

adept skills in always

efficiently dealing

with them.

 

Therefore the pending retirement from your present

and longstanding position as a highly competent,

thoroughly respected, greatly admired and

deeply loved practising GP and friend

although a consummate loss I know

for everyone of us who knows you

and have over the years benefited

enormously from your commitment,

untiring devotion to your work as well as

your friendship is somewhat tempered

by the joy and knowledge that you

won’t be departing entirely, but

rather in that altruistic spirit

for which you’re very well

known will as a medical

counsellor continue to

minister to the same

community which

quite justifiably

holds you in

such high

regards.

For Dr John Blechynden: professionally and in every other regard a most remarkable human being, on his recent retirement. You’ll be sorely missed!
