IN HONOR OF DR. ORRINGER

Marintha "Babe" Crane became Dr. Orringer's patient after her 100th birthday. She has written this poem in his honor:

Grateful and Proud Am I
To Be Dr. Orringer's Patient
His Skill and Kindness I Extol
For He's at the Top of my Totem Pole

Affectionately,
Marintha "Babe" Crane

LIFE AFTER AN ESOPHAGECTOMY

As a physician who has spent almost all of his 60 years of practice in academic medicine, I can report that my total esophagectomy was performed in a superb hospital by a brilliant, compassionate, surgeon: Dr. Orringer.

The accompanying photos will attest to the fact that over 2 years post-op one can accomplish any activity that was possible prior to surgery.
