| 253 | Anonymous | Dr. Wolfe has taught me the importance of humility and compassion in medicine. He has shaped my perception of how to heal. |

What is threatened today is not only Dr. Wolfe's nobility, but also the very soul of our School of Medicine... |
| 261 | Melina Rincon | Not only is he a great professor and clinician but also a friend. Please allow him to stay and to continue to inspire us. |

| 264 | Richard Thunder | Dr. Wolfe is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. The move to fire him is a power play and not in the best interest of students. |

| 270 | Grace Chang | Dr. Wolfe is a treasure and an inspiration. He is unparalleled in his dedication to compassionate patient care and to the teaching of the (increasingly lost) art of medicine. So many of us have gained so much from him; my heart sinks at the tragedy which is unfolding with the termination of his contract. I urge the Administration to reconsider its position; to lose him from the faculty would be an incalculable loss. |
| 271 | Phil Kurien | His mentorship inspired me to be better for my patients, my peers, and for myself, and for that I am grateful. |

| 283 | Anonymous | Dr.Wolfe is the image of what a doctor should be. His experience is an invaluable asset to the school. His dedication to the students is exemplary and should result in commendation, not termination. |

| 287 | Margie Teng | Dr. Wolfe has much to contribute to medical students. I think it's a shame that the medical school couldn't figure out a creative way to make use of his talents. He was one of the few professors I have met that has offered to spend extra time helping me learn critical skills. I know that my physical exam skills could be improved, and I was happy to find this resource. Future students will really miss out if they cannot learn about the physical exam from Dr. Wolfe. |
| 288 | Lauren Shapiro | I have found the news about Dr. Wolfe to be deeply saddening and disturbing. I can only wonder if Stanford no longer values the characteristics embodied by EW, then what is valued? |

| 290 | aliza monroe-wise | it does seem rather ironic to discontinue someone like dr. wolfe in the name of compassion and humanism in medicine. i suppose the school would have us learn these virtues to practice with our patients, despite not practicing them itself within our community? |

| 294 | Anonymous | Dr. Wolfe has always treated me with professionalism and has advanced my training in the field of medicine, and I would like him to be treated with the same respect and dignity that he has shown me as a preceptor. |

| 298 | Nirav Kamdar | Dr. Wolfe helped me overcome particular obstacles in my medical training when I was uncomfortable to even approach my own academic advisor. He really cares for his students and that he loves to teach on the wards. These teaching values are something that we need to encourage at Stanford because we will remember these teaching experiences far longer than any other experiences. |

| 300 | John S. Vorhies | I am a current Medical student at Stanford who has had the good fortune to benefit immeasurably from Dr. Wolfe’s bedside teaching. I have been very frustrated with many aspects of the clinical portion of Stanford’s POM curriculum. At times it seems like our clinician educators are imparting knowledge to us in spite of the sometimes ineffectual, sometimes counterproductive curriculum structure. I firmly believe that it is not the flashy innovations in curriculum structure that forms fine clinicians, but the quality and dedication of the clinical educators involved. I spoke to many physicians in deciding whether and where to go to medical school and not one of them touted a program or a system. Many, however, spoke of their personal connections with outstanding educators that guided them through medical school and showed taught them the meaning of what they were learning in human terms. Dr. Wolfe is clearly one of these outstanding educators that has been of seminal influence in many students’ formative years and will continue to do so if given the opportunity.
Developing new curriculum that includes better and more productive ways for students and clinician educators to interact is undoubtedly an important task, but when such development leads to the termination of such a fine clinician educator as Dr. Wolfe, then something has gone very wrong. Dr. Wolfes physical findings rounds have been the high point of my medical education at Stanford thus far. Removing him from contact with students is a grave mistake. It is an error that will be propagated through the student body as we lose the key part of our education that Dr. Wolfe has been providing. For the sake of the students, and out of respect for a Physician who has educated and healed so many people at Stanford, I strongly urge the administration to reconsider their decision to terminate Dr. Wolfe. |
