After starting with Dr. Bernard Branson in Baltimore, for a few years. The AIDS epidemic, was still raging. And Bernie Branson, piicked up a research position, with the CDC in Atlanta. And would be closing his practice in Baltimore. Becaause I lived,, in the Washington DC Metro area. I was recommended to and I had my first appointment with, Dr. Micheal Pistole. Around 1990.

Dr. Bernie Branson was lovely. Dr. Micheal Pistole, Was was, truly special. What a lovely bedside manner. He was not just my doctor. He felt like my friend also. Though we did not socialize together outside, the medical office. I always wanted to. I think he knew how much I loved him. He was my, personal medical doctor,Internist for, 25 years.

I remember he had a couple of, terrible episodes with, Hernias. That nearly killed him, a couple of times over.

I went to see,, Micheal Pistole', before I left Washington DC for Austin,, Texas, 12 years ago. And I hadn't been keeping up with him as I knew, he had retired from his, practice.

I had no idea he had passed on? And so many years ago now? I feel jusst horrible. I so wanted him to have, a wonderful beautiful, happy, love filled, retirement. Now I find out. He hardly had a chance.

It's not fair God dammit. What a fabulous, giving, loving, life servant. To ensure, that we all enjoy our retirement. I am so terribly saddened. My condolences to his life partner. He told me how much he loved you. How much you meant to him. As he knew my husband I lost after 22 years in, October 2014. And the reason why I left Washington DC. There's no place I could go without bursting into tears. Remembering the fabulous times we had together there. We did and accomplished so much toggether. It's so painful.. To be around all that reminds me of our happy loving time together. For 22 years. While I knew and fell in love with, Micheal Pistole'. I'm certain like many of his patient's have. Who couldn't? Who wouldn't? What a wonderful caregiver and friend of a lifetime.

I'm so sorry you are no longer with us Micheal Pistole'. God Speed to you and I will see you on the other side… With my late husband, KITT. STAY AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND!!

I will miss you and love you forever, Miccheal Pistole'. And you made my, Colonoscopy. So much bbetter. You're the only man I ever let do that to me. He wass so gentle. He had that magic touch.

Now I have to enjoy my, pauper, flat broke retirement. For bboth my husband Kitt and Micheal Pistole'. Since neither of them, ever got the chance to. Of wherever I can afford to drive to and my, 24-year-old, White Trash Luxury Dieesel Pusher Mottorhome. On my measly monthly, Social Security, retirement benefits. Becausse that's all that's been left for me.

Now I'm just an, Old Woman, thaat live in a Shoe. Known as a Motorhome in the 21st Century. And she is my Diesel Pusher I have fondly named… Monaco Lewinsky. With her I'm always, Cummins. As she is quite Turbo Charged.

I'm sso sorryy you are gone Micheal Pistole'. You knew you were the other man in my life.

I haven’t been in touch in years but after learning of his passing feel compelled to leave respect and condolences. Deepest sympathies to Richard. Ryan Eubanks

May God continue to bless the family. Dr Pistole was such a wonderful person. I often think of how brilliant he was as a practioner and how passionate and loving he was as a person. He was truly a trail Blazer in he treatment of hIV in the early '90 s. I often think of how his love for people and food knew no boundaries. He was so engaging whenever I met with him on the units. A wonderful hostess. He once invited the members of the nursing unit to his beautiful home for lunch. He and Richard were such a great host. I will always remember Dr. P and how he loved and respected everyone. Such a brilliant man. May he rest in peace. Love, Zetta Leftridge, PharmD.

I was vary saddened to hear of Michael's passing away, He was truly the best doctor I ever had, he took excellent care myself and several other friends. We ended up becoming friends when we discovered that he and Richard had bought a house in W Va. directly above ours around 1984.

I sought out a Doctor who was on the cutting edge of Aids treatment in the spring of 1983 when I thought that I was infected with the virus and even though it turned out that I was not infected his excellent care and reassuring attitude probably saved my life during this most difficult time in my life.

I would really like to share in a memorial event with Richard and others, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Have been upset at finding out that my doctor and friend Michael has passed away. he was my doctor for many many years since i moved to Washington DC. He was much more than just a doctor he was a friend as well. He was exceptional in his treatment of a patient and would then spend time talking to you about all sorts if things. Very much missed Michael and my condolence to Richard and family from Roger.
