Physician Skates to Patients

Forty-five year old Dr. Thomas Bolte has discovered that inline skating is the fastest way to get around New York City. If his patients have urgent needs, he's there in a jiffy. He makes "skating house calls" to the elderly, to busy entertainers, to important officials, and to those who visit Manhattan. He also believes in getting to know his patients and specializes in solving medical mysteries.

Dr. Bolte skates about ten miles each week. What a great way to make use of inline skating! I think being able to mix the fun and exercise of skating with work is an inspiring and great idea. I hope to meet and skate with this creative physician next time I visit NYC.
