'Women Better Patients,'
Says Family Doctor of Year
Dr. Lonnie A. Coffin, 68, of Farmington, iowa, back at work after being named General Practitioner
of the Year by the American Medical Association.
“Women are better patients
than men,” according to Dr.
Lonnie A. Coffin, Family Doctor
of the Year. “They’ll do what
you tell them, but men won’t.”
At 68, Dr. Coffin is a warm
and happy man, busy with the
health needs of more than 3,000
people in and around rural
Farmington, Iowa. Enriched by
46 years of country doctoring,
he is also a man who speaks
his mind, a philosopher with
concise and witty views on life.
Here are a few of them:
On smoking: “It’s undoubt-
edly bad for you. I gave it up
after my coronary, and”—he
stopped to light one of his six
daily cigars—“I’ve given it up
several times since then.”
On health: “The work of the
voluntary health agencies
makes me confident about the
future. The National Founda-
tion, for instance, which helped
us eight years ago when a polio
epidemic hit Farmington [three
of Dr. Coffin’s four grandchil-
dren were stricken], is now ap-
plying its March of Dimes funds
to problems like arthritis and
birth defects. That’s good news,
and good health.”
On sickness: “If you're sick,
do what you can to get well,
but try not to worry about it.
If you worry, you’ll feel worse
and so will everybody around
you.”
On being sick at night: “We
all get sicker at night. That’s
because we have more time to
think about ourselves.” <
On drinking: “There are only
certain people who should drink.
Those who can both control it
and afford it.” - — -V
On fishing: “You can fish sit-
ting down and I like that. If
you catch something, fine. If
you don’t, exaggerate.” ;
On being a doctor: “I try to
take care of people no matter
what the hour, no matter where
they live, no matter who they
are. Where or when they get
sick is not their fault.” *
On being a doctor named
“Coffin”: “Well, it’s true that’s
what they carry you off in, but
the fact is my name hasn’t
scared off too many patients.”
County Clerk To
Take Applications
For Notaries Public
Secretary of State Zollie
Steakley has announced that he
will reappoint persons now hold-
ing notary public commissions
but that such persons must re-
qualify by the filing of a new
oath-and bond with the County
Clerk’s office between June 1,
1959 and June 10, 1959.
Steakley emphasized that no-
taries public should not send
requests for reappointment or
for commissions directly to the
Secretary of State. The law
specifically requires for the
County Clerk to approve notary
bonds.
Any person not now a notary
public who desires appointment
should apply at the County
Clerk’s office between April 1,
1959 and May 20, 1959. Appli-
cation during this period will
assure prompt attention before
the rush procedure of reappoint-
ing present notaries.
Secretary of State Steakley
further pointed out that each
person applying for a commis-
sion as a notary public must
be at least 21 years of age and
a resident of the county for
which he is appointed. The ex-
act name and permanent ad-
dress of the applicant must be
furnished the County Clerk’s of-
fice.
