We'll Meet Again

-

Doctor

We happen to have a copy of your medical record, from Vietnam. Come on doc, this is really something. -

Doctor

And then the-- - This is really crazy. -

Doctor

Here's the anesthesia sheet and this is why, I knew it was Doctor Katz, because the anesthesiologist said Doctor Katz, was your primary surgeon. And we have all those details, and then this is Doctor Katz's, operating room note. -

Patient

Do you know Doctor Katz's first name? Oh, yes. -

Patient

Oh, my god. We can answer that for you, there M-A-Y-E-R Katz, Army Captain Medical Corp. Never heard his first name, there wouldn't been a reason for me to know it there.

Narrator

This is the first time Roger has ever heard, the full name of the man who saved his leg, and his life in 1967. I never met him, but out of some 600, American doctors, who served in Vietnam, I met or corresponded with about 375 of them. But there is an exhibit downtown right now, about the Vietnam War, at the News Museum, and Doctor Katz is in one of the photographs down there. If you go down and see that exhibit, that would give you a good start, as a souvenir for all of this let me give you a hard-- - I can keep this. -

Doctor

Let me give you a hard copy. God bless you doc. That was amazing. I don't know what to say. It's just unbelievable, I'm a little bit closer to Doctor Katz, Doctor Mayer Katz. Never knew that. 20 minutes ago, I just found out his name. So, to know that the person probably still exists. Let's go get him.
