Dr Patrick leaves void in Tobago

I now add my small piece from a patient’s perspective as this area could possibly have been given more prominence.

I know I speak for thousands of Tobagonians who Dr Patrick attended to in a professional capacity over the many years and where his thoroughness, his warm, gentle manner, his focus on assisting humanity rather than on any monetary consideration endeared him fully. Surely a man for all seasons.

The void created by his loss is going to be greatly felt and the hope is that some recognition of his efforts, including the prostate clinic, could be given by the powers that be to ensure his legacy lives on.

Finally, I would be failing if mention is not made of the dedication, unstinting support given by Dr Helene Crooks, who ensured this well loved doctor remained with us for as long as he did.
