With all the concentrated efforts by mainstream media aimed at trying to turn voters against Ron Paul, his patients are courageously coming forward wanting to fire back and tell the American people about the real Dr. Ron Paul.
In response to a recent article regarding one of Dr. Paul's former patients, another gentleman has come forward and graciously allowed me to tell his story. In that past article, I had attempted to tell the other side of the story regarding Dr. Paul's commitment throughout his medical career of not accepting a penny from government-funded healthcare programs. The other side of that story was that he did not turn these patients away, instead he showed honorable charity and accepted them as patients by providing his services free of charge.
It was 1984 in Austin, TX and a young couple were awaiting the arrival of their baby girl. Robert and his wife were still attending High School at the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin. They had tried to get help through the hospital there but he states that back then the hospital did not accept programs like Medicaid. Shortly after their visit, they received a call from Dr. Ron Paul. Even though he was still finishing his term in Congress before returning to practicing medicine full-time, he agreed to become their Doctor and told them that they would not be billed for his services.
During their time knowing him, Robert states that Dr. Paul had encouraged both of them to finish school and they promised him that they would. On Robert's graduation day, he was very surprised to receive an award for Excellence from Ron Paul. He kept his promise to Dr. Paul and went on to college receiving a scholarship majoring in Electronic Technology.
At the time they first met, Robert said, "I was a Democrat and that Dr. Paul opened my eyes" to conservative views and the Republican Party. He has kept those views over the last 27 years.
As to Robert's choice for President of the United States, "Dr. Paul is my man with my heart and he always will be. He is an awesome man. Go Dr. Paul 2012!"
Thank you Robert for having the courage to come forward and especially for trusting me to share your story about this great American with the rest of the world.
