To: Dr. Craig Meredith, M.D. Dear Dr. Craig, Other doctors merely processed the stupified steer my father had become, turned him into lithium-laced hamburger in the slaughterhouse of the psych ward, drying out from years of ups and downs prescribed. You saved his life, and not incidentally, gave it a measure of grace that he would never have attained otherwise in the days of alcohol and pills, of indiscriminate abuse. Your kind ways, stern warnings and most especially your carefully crafted placebos were instrumental: a plan of changes, enacted by you inspired a shambling wreck to renew his dignity and self-worth. And not incidentally, your calm and competent attendance at the births of my children gave them gentle passage into our world. As they grew and evidenced needs you passed them along to helpers of high quality: a podiatrist with the unlikely name of Dr. Treadwell; a renowned pediatric cardiologist repaired my baby's plum-sized heart. And not incidentally, you introduced this newly middle-aged man to the proctological examination so subtly and swiftly our conversation was never interrupted. You are a truly fine General Practitioner Dr. Craig, and not incidentally, one of the finest Men I have ever known. Blessed Be all of your Days, and Long. Robert Douglas Hickey
