This photo is of Dr. Vincent, his wife and son, Doug and I. We met Dr. Vincent at the county hospital yesterday and he has been taking wonderful care of me ever since. He picked us up from our hotel this morning and drove us back to the hospital where I got acupuncture and infrared laser treatment. He then took us on a little tour of the city, brought us to a much nicer hotel and negotiated an insanely cheap rate for us. I checked in while he took Doug back to our other hotel. He got us a refund on our room, waited while Doug packed up all of our stuff and then brought Doug back to our new hotel.
Then he went to work, performed an emergency surgery, picked us up at our hotel and took us back to his home where we enjoyed a delicious dinner, wine and dessert.
He just dropped us off at our hotel and is planning on picking us up tomorrow morning so I can go back to the hospital for my acupuncture and infrared laser treatment.
This man has been so kind and has done so much for us. I hope that someday I can reciprocate. If I can’t reciprocate for him, I promise to extend two-fold what he has done for me for someone else. You all have my word. If any of you reading this need help. Call it in. I will make good on my promise. That’s what it’s all about.

You ran into a fine individual and his family! That him for me! This is really what your trip is all about. You have Hippolyte smiling in his grave! This is what he was all about…a great wholesome sense about the inherent goodness in human nature!
We have been shown overwhelming kindness here. I’ve been moved to tears so many times. Now, I will bring that spirit home with me and hope it inspires others.
That was “thank” him for me! I’m sure he would be at least a Democrat or Socialist if he lived here in the States! He is a great example of a wonderful and thoughtful human being!
We will begin our walk from here next year. I hope to see him again then.
Maybe you meant it and he sounds like a candidate for canonization, you referred to Dr. Vincent as St. Vincent. Peggy and I founded the St. Vincent de Paul Conference in our faith community. We are proud to be following his foundational mission to the poor and underserved. Hope you can “pay it forward” some day. Congrats and blessings,
He is wonderful. And when Doug and I come back here to pick up on snd continue our walk. We will pay him a visit.
