I work in healthcare and this reminded me of a patient we lost last week - a man loyally and fiercely loved by his devoted family who only wanted to look after him, but who deeply believed every word every doctor had ever spoken.
He died last week, having developed multiple large tumours - 2 in his chest (which the oncologist described as "beginning to split apart"), pressure on his heart and lungs making it difficult to breathe, another mass pressing on his bladder causing incontinence, and legs so heavy and swollen with oedema and fluid "soaking through bandages" that he was confined to a wheelchair.
This was such a miserable existence that he was in the process of initiating "Assisted Dying" pathways, but not before the family agreed to yet another procedure - an endoscopy which inadvertently perforated his bladder and killed him last week.
He'd gone from independent, fit and healthy, walking and cycling daily, and maintaining a large garden - to 17 different vaccinations in a 2 year period, and being loved to death.
GOD rest his soul, and have mercy on his family. So sad. GOD bless you, you will need great strength for the coming, most likely, monsoon of these types of occurrences.
