I was speechless this morning in the OR after hearing the news of your passing from Sue Campbell, CRNA. You were someone I truley looked up to during my training at Charity. I have carried many valuable lessons you shared with me into my practice, and I thank you for all of the memories, even the ride down I-10 in the 90 model Targa. I will truley miss you, and your wisdom. You have also shown me the importance of keeping in touch. I wish we could share one more joke together. God's...

Wow, I inadvertantly learned of your death today Mark. I can easily say that you were a great impression on my life and training during my years at charity. You were always respected by the surgery residents. And considering the tension b/w surgeons and anesthesiologists on many occasions, that's saying alot. You will be missed by many.

As a resident and then staff anesthesiologist at Charity, I enjoyed the privilege of working with Mark Mitchell - a man who always made me smile and put me at ease. He had a mischevious (but harmless) sense of humor, complimented by a heart of gold. Sometimes when we were working late on call together, he would give me money to buy us grilled cheese sandwiches from the Fistula (the greasy eatery in front of Charity, open on both ends of course). He was a man who recognized the best in...

I miss Mark alot. He trained me at LSU and then I worked along side him for several years. He was such a funny, caring and very giving man. There are not many unconditionally loving people as he left in this world. It makes me smile just to think about his ineptness dealing with electronics, but he would always have the latest and best device on the market. I think about Mark daily. I can only imagine what he is doing now; probably scratching his head and twirling around in Heaven, lost,...

An anesthesiologist, a teacher, a co-worker, a true friend, I will miss you, your lessons, and your humor. How at ease you made everyone feel by just being there. I enjoyed working with you and knowing you.

Mark was a dear friend and I will miss him greatly. He was a kind and fair staff when I was a resident, a great teammate when we were staff together, and a skilled and dependable staff member when I was in charge of the LSU Department. It was during that later time that we become close as Mark would often pop in the office to offer words of encouragement and advice during some very difficult times at LSU.

Over the past five or six years we began attending Saints and Hornets games...

Mark was a dear friend and neighbor. He was a wonderful person and cared for everyone who knew him. We will miss him.

My best wishes and prayers for Dr. Mitchell's family. I remember many of the times and people we worked with together. He was always someone that could be counted on in a pinch or crisis.
