This book club is in honor of
Dr. Allen Pelletier was a beloved professor of family medicine at MCG for years – esteemed by patients, colleagues and students. He passed away unexpectedly in 2019. Allen loved God, loved life, loved his wife and children, loved his neighbor and colleagues and loved his patients. On his last full day of living, he was in a group, discussing a book about the nature of love. For more about his life, see https://magazines.augusta.edu/2024/02/06/a-colorful-life/.
I think to love another person means to seek their highest good. I think we should love our patients because, as a physician, we should seek the highest good for our patients and for what we do in healthcare.
