DR. GENE H. STOLLERMAN

Dr. Stollerman was an inspiration to many medical residents at the Univ. of Tenn., Memphis, myself included. His enthusiasm for medicine was boundless and infectious. He inspired many and had confidence in many residents suggesting they could be great scientists and do great things. Therefore, it is with sadness that I found out that he had recently died. Hopefully, the energy and confidence he inspired in so many will live on through others.
He was truly a great Chairman of...

Dr. Stollerman was my inspiration during medical school at the University of Tennessee which led me into the field of Internal Medicine. I proudly count myself as one of the hundreds of residents who passed through his program at UT. He demanded excellence and mastery in his house staff. Even now, after nearly 40 years in practice, I can still sense his presence as I care for my patients. I still have a desire to "make him proud" of the work I do in medicine. His legacy endures.

It was my privelege to be Dr Stollerman's first chief resident at UT in 1966. He remained my mentor thru the decades, was instrumental in my evolution into geriatrics, and we actually re-connected via email only recently. I will always cherish his memory.

Dr. Stollerman was a great teacher, physician and humanist whom I was privileged to learn from during my internship at University Hospital. We saw some of the very first HIV patients together, and he helped me learn how to sit with a family whose loved one was dying. He was everything I could have wanted in a teacher and mentor. May his memory be a blessing and may his family be comforted by their memories of Dr. Gene Stollerman.

Gene was my mentor, adviser, supporter and friend. I learned a great deal from him and will miss him dearly.
