I´m years late, but as a long retired physician I knew Patrick in La Paz, Bolivia, where I served as a Peace Corps Physician. Patrick was a friend and we hiked together and I assisted with some surgery. Great memories from some 60 years ago!

I know this is quite late, but I wanted to let you know how much Dr. Jewell meant to us. 50 yrs ago this May 2020. Dr. Jewell performed major surgery on my son. Matthew Thomas Hansel at Childrens Hospital in Detroit. He was in intensive care for 6 weeks. Matt is now a business owner, a father and grandfather and an avid runner. I will always be grateful to him for helping my son to live such a wonderful life. He was a wonderful and kind doctor and will be missed
