Dear Mrs. Baughman,

My sympathy for you and your family is beyond words.
I received a new heart at the Brigham and Women's Hospital one year ago. I had many complications before and after my transplant. Dr. Baughman was the force that gave me hope and kept me alive.

What can one truly say about Dr. Baughman? He was a great cardiologist, teacher, and friend.

He looked at me and said are you scared I smiled, shook my head slightly, and said yes. He said with this stern voice "And you should be", and with a great big smile on his face. He was never too busy to speak to you or with you; he would often to stop by to say hello,...

I had worked with Ken during my training as an Otolaryngology resident at Johns Hopkins (during the early 1990s). He taught me so much by his fine example.

His tremendous clinical skills and obvious compassion for his patients made a huge impression on me. I will never forget the bond that he had with his patients. He also...

Sincere condolences to Ken's family. I have not seen Ken since we were undergrads at Missouri. I so admired his skill and kindness in campus political circles. God bless him and a life well lived.
