Dr. Williams suicide has led to an outpouring of grief from former patients, co-workers and friends.Reader Peter E. Sutherland responds to Jay Williams Found Dead After Alleged Assault on Former Girlfriend.”I won’t judge these people. I don’t know enough about what happened. I only know that Dr. Williams was a remarkably talented, forthright and caring physician. He was my orthopedist and listened to my complaints about back pain when several other doctors figuratively shrugged their shoulders. I am a lawyer and he was also the treating physician for a client with significant injuries. And though I was disppointed that his medical findings were not more supportive of my client’s claim, I came away impressed with Dr. Williams’ integity and medical ability.I won’t judge Dr. Williams or speculate as to the motives behind his final acts. I can only be sad that Seattle has lost a gifted doctor and man.”
