In Memoriam: Paul H. Ward MD

Print-Friendly Version

Some may find my version of Paul’s obituary to be a bit casual, not extolling his many official, professional accomplishments in a more traditional format. However, having known Paul for so many years, I know he would prefer a more lighthearted and irreverent approach. His patients, the specialty, and his trainees will miss him. He truly made this place a better world. And he had a lot of fun doing it.
