Last Doctor to Make House Calls
Dr. Fong is retiring this month, after more than 40 years as a general practitioner in San Francisco. I will miss him terribly, as will his other patients. Dr. Fong is wise, patient, and very kind. He has served his patients well.
I went to see Dr. Fong recently, to ask his advice on a couple of minor heath issues, and to bid him best wishes in his retirement. He patiently answered my questions (while looking over the top of his reading glasses) and then asked if there was anything else. I replied that I had heard that he used to make house calls to elderly patients in San Francisco. “I still do,” he replied, “For my patients who cannot safely come into my office. And I don’t charge them for house calls.”
That speaks volumes about Dr. Fong. For him, medical practice is about caring for his patients. It’s not about the money, and it’s not about the prestige.
I wish Dr. Fong a long and happy retirement. And I thank him for his help over the years. He just may be the last of his kind, and I’m glad I got to know him.
