OBITUARY #2:

He Never Forgot
Death has taken from the community a man who devoted more than a half-century to the practice of
healing and comforting. A few years ago he announced plans for retirement but dedication to his profession and deep personal concern for the individuals and families who loved and trusted him, and had come to depend on his care and counsel, brought him back to his office until his final illness. Dr. Philip D.Weems, dead at 76, touched countless lives since he came to Portsmouth in 1937 to begin the general practice of medicine, and all who knew him are the richer for the experience. His distinguished career included government service in public health care at Staten Island Hospital in new York and the Veterans Administration Hospital at Chillicothe. World War II took him to New Guinea with the Navy's Construction Battalion (Seabees) and combat in the bloody campaign to regain control of the South Pacific. Caring for his patients at Mercy, Scioto Memorial and Southern Hills hospitals, the years took their toll but the oath he swore upon graduation from the University of Tennessee at Memphis so many decades ago still inspired him. "You do solemnly swear, each man by whatever he holds most sacred, that you will be loyal to the profession of medicine...that you will lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and honor; that into whatsoever house you shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of your power...that whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men which is not fitting to be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret." He never forgot and his family, his patients, his friends and his colleagues always will remember him. He was buried in March 1984 at Greenlawn Cemetery, Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OH.
