If there was any doubt about the love and compassion Dr. Campbell had for his patients, please read what "Campbell's Kids" had to say about their surgeon.

"I can fix a broken bone, but I can't fix a broken soul. Let him do what he wants."
-Xavier, age 6
"Dear Dr. Campbell, I liked when you took care of me when you came in my room. I liked you were my surgeon for years and years. I liked you were my doctor until you went to heaven to do surgery."
-Roman, age 7
"Dear Dr. Campbell, I can't believe I will never see you again! I am very sad! I miss you so much! You are a great dr.! Thank you for always "having my back" and taking such good care of me! You will always be in my heart forever!
-Luca, age 7
"I was very sad that Dr. Campbell has passed away. He was the best doctor in the universe. Best memory of him is all of them and the fact that he saved my life and millions of other kids and let us be who we are today is just amazing! When I heard he passed away it was like a nightmare. My heart just dropped. Every da yI think about it and I hope i twas just a dream, but I know it's not. I loved him."
-Josie, age 9
"Dr. Campbell was nice because he took care of kid and he loves kids. He was good with patients. Our familiy loves him so much because he fixed my ribs. I'm going to miss when he would take care of me when I'm asleep during surgery. I miss him already."
-Abby, age 7
"Doctor Campbell is so so special. He saved MILLIONS of children’s lives! Even if he didn’t do all the surgeries, he was the person who invented VEPTRs, and trained all the docs all around the world, so that it is closer and easier for kids that live far away from CHOP to get surgery . He might not have done everyone’s surgeries, but he did do A LOT! He did mine! Without Doctor Campbell, I probably wouldn’t be alive, or I would be in pain or suffering right now.
Also…He wasn’t just a great surgeon. He was really kind. He took time to show me pictures of his family. I wasn’t really afraid of the surgery itself. I wasn’t worried that Dr. Campbell would do a bad job. I was nervous to get the mask, and scared to go into the OR. Like I said I wasn’t worried about the surgery itself, or that Dr. Campbell would do a terrible job. He was excellent at doing the surgery and keeping me safe in the OR. He knew what should be done for me to grow and be healthy. He knew when to stop doing something and keep doing something.
You're Amazing Dr. Campbell, We’ll miss you A LOT!!
With lots of love.
