I VE READ DR.KOOPS BOOK AND ENJOYED IT DO HOPE HIS FAMILY IS CARRYING ON HIS GREAT WORK LOVE A HOUSEWIFE FROM MS HELEN MCCARDLE
Dr. Koop did reconstructive surgery on my chest at CHoP in 1979 when I was 16 years of age! Several years later, while he was surgeon general, he took time out of his busy schedule and helped me get a job when I was turned down for bogus medical reasons concerning my chest! Even more importantly, he shared his faith in Jesus Christ with me the first time I ever met him! He truly was a man of his word and a wonderful human being! God Bless You Dr. Koop; my surgeon, my friend, and my brother in Christ! All my prayers to his family!
god speed he was great.....
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please find peace and comfort in Psalms 65:2.
It was Dr. Koop's statement about the severity of nicotine addiction that helped me quit smoking in 1989. Haven't smoked since. I wonder how many others lives he changed for the better and never knew it.
When Dr. Koop was nominated to be Surgeon General, the American Public Health Association, my professional home, fought against him. We later gave him the APHA Award for Excellence, which he richly deserved. He acted on the findings of science, eschewed politics, and told the truth as science revealed it. He was one of the best spokespersons for public health that we have ever had.
