Lisa Ann Krutzik I rolled into South Detroit on a clear June afternoon and found my way to the private library at the VA medical center to speak with Dr. Thomas Chu. I first met Dr. Chu early in my pemphigus vulgaris (PV) treatment when he was involved with a clinical trial at the University at Buffalo. I was fascinated with him because we didn’t just talk about PV, we talked about nutrition and Eastern medicine. We also discussed hair loss—an area of interest for Dr. Chu— and he reassured me that my own hair loss would be a temporary issue. Soon after, he was offered a dermatology residency at Wayne State University in Michigan and moved.
