If you recall more you’d like to share, we’d enjoy hearing the memories. I wonder if he has any family members around. I’d enjoy gathering more information about Dr. Johnson.

I only recently discovered this information through other relatives, so it’s interesting that I should stumble into this only a few days afterwards.

It was only this week as I was doing other research that I found your article on “Doc” Johnson. I am not kidding when I say that I owe this man my life – when I was a kid, none of the other doctors in the area could figure out why I had high raging fevers that came intermittently and I would be out of school for days or weeks. Dr. Johnson was the one who figured out it was a fistula and sent me to Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia to have it surgically removed. He made house calls out to the “boonies” when most doctors would not ever keep their office open beyond their regular house even for emergencies. My Mom and I sat many an hour in his waiting room because of her regard for his medical abilities (and her uncle was a surgeon who had trained at Jefferson, so she knew what a good healer should be like).

48 years later I can say with great certainty that I have not met a doctor since who can match Dr. Johnson’s passion for medicine and his love of all people regardless of color or economic means. He truly had the soul of a healer. We are much poorer for his passing.
