“Now it’s true that his voice sounds sort of gravelly, but he is easily understood– even over the telephone. At first, when he had difficulty pronouncing a word, he would pause and think, then he’d use a synonym. Now he doesn’t have this problem, and he seems to speak with relative ease.”
“Has he been able to help others who have had a similar condition?” I asked.
“Yes, indeed,” Bob responded. “And Dr. Joe has a most interesting technique to instill confidence. For example, when another doctor refers a patient to him whose larynx has been removed, the patient may find Dr. Joe’s waiting room full of people. The new arrival sees Dr. Joe come in and talk to others with that gravelly voice of his. He smiles and laughs. He appears to be happy. And he is.
“Then, when the speechless patient comes into Dr. Joe’s private office, Dr. Joe tells the thrilling story of how he himself was inspired by the old Cajun country doctor, and how he taught himself to talk.
“The patient generally becomes excited as he pictures himself talking just like Dr. Joe. He is told he must work hard and practice, practice, practice.
“Today, Dr. Joe is one of the busiest men I know. He is on the staff of three hospitals, and, at the age of seventy-five, works every day. Once he was named Texas Physician of the Year; another time he was given the national Laetare medal; and because of his sympathetic work with the poor, he was knighted by Pope Pius XII. On more than one occasion, I have heard it said, ‘Where Dr. Joe goes, God goes.’”
