may he rest in peace

i bumped into one of my patient's son in hospi mart couple of days ago.
i knew his father. he had a blood cancer which metastasized to the brain.

i knew his father when i was in hematology ward. i met him at A&E, as he presented during my oncall night for neutropenic sepsis. he was in the state where there were times he was totally alert and orientated to what is happening but sometimes he would talked nonsense, became suddenly blind or could not feel the pain at all. but when he was totally fine and alert, he was the nicest person ever. he was very friendly and nice. he has a son who is now a medical student in UNIMAS. we scanned his head and found this lytic lesions on the bone. could probably a lymphoma to the brain as well. but i did not know what happened after that, but i do know that he was discharged well after few weeks.

back from raya, i saw him at medical day care. for follow up. he knew me and recognised me. i was so pleased to see him again in that condition. i taught i could see him again even though i'll be changing to other posting. but hemato ward is just in the gynae ward which i could have a peek and look whether he is around or not.

i was wrong

that was my last time to see him again. when i bumped to his son at the shop, i was told that he has died 2 weeks ago. his son looked so strong. i'm wishing the best for him and family. hope they can live through it.

may he rest in peace.
