Born in Toronto
Ludwig delivered more than 20,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 babies in Toronto, a nearly permanent on-call obstetrician who never took vacations and even went 10 years without visiting his Peterborough-area cottage.
He enjoyed just over four years of retirement before passing away peacefully on Sept. 16, 2012. He was 90.
A 2008 profile of Ludwig in the Star described him as Toronto's most prolific obstetrician-gynecologist. He was forced to quit the profession he devoted his life to at 86 because of a broken hip.
Born in Toronto on March 31, 1922, Ludwig was brought up in a modest home with his close sister, Beverley Borins, just 15 months his junior.
He graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto in 1945. His specialty was a matter of employment: the only residency that was available to him at the time was in obstetrics at Washington's American University.
After further graduate work in Miami, he called in a favour from a Washington friend for a job back home. That landed him privileges at six Toronto hospitals in the aftermath of World War II.
Ludwig began his obstetrical practice at Mount Sinai Hospital in 1950, then in a small house on Yorkville Ave.
"There were two people delivering at once sometimes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Ludwig said in a 2008 interview, describing the single-room delivery area. "Everybody yelling at the same time… Then they'd have to move them somewhere in the hall. It was a mess."
Ludwig - affectionately called "Bernie Baby" by friends and colleagues - daily donned white sneakers and walked more than 6 kilometres to work. His son in-law, Dr. Unless, of course, there was a patient in or going into labour. On those nights, he slept in the hospital.
Gwartz said one of Ludwig's patients,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a well-known philanthropist, once said: "Bernie Ludwig dedicated his entire life to life itself."
At 75, Ludwig stopped delivering and returned to general practice at a walk-in clinic - although his advice was sought after well into his retirement. He was also known for a running tab he had at the walk-in's pharmacy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], paying for prescriptions when patients couldn't afford the bill.
Ludwig and his wife, Margaret, had four children and 13 grandchildren. Margaret,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an accomplished artist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was patient with Ludwig despite his always being on call for a delivery. Borins said Ludwig had left countless functions and weddings to deliver babies, and would even let the theatre know what seat he was in should a call come in.
Margaret wasn't the only one who waited for the kind and caring Ludwig,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"He'd have an office full of patients and he'd say to them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if he had to run for a delivery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "I've got to go for a delivery; if you want to wait, wait. If you don't want to wait, leave. But if you wait, remember I'm giving you the same service,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Borins said.
