Dr. Thomas Stone and a life in medicine in Frederick
Dr. Thomas Stone recalled brutal past treatments such as gastrectomies for ulcers and the shift from rest to other options. He described early house calls, snowstorm on-call duties, and sleeping in his office during blizzards as he served patients. Stone grew up in Washington and Braddock Heights, influenced by a physician grandfather, studied at George Washington University, and served in the Air Force before settling in Frederick. He opened his first office in 1951, returned from Korea, and ran a clinic at 4 W Third St for 37 years.
