Rip and the Fraility of Life

RIP And The Fraility Of Life To be warded for breathing problems due to a lung infection... And getting a good doctor and ICU attention upon arrival at the hospital... Would normally be assurance enough the best was being done... But in this case, the hospital was not in time to stop a patient's health decline... These only serve to remind us how quickly Life can give up on us... As sudden as it silently comes, heart attack is very much unwelcomed... RIP O dear friend, your time with the good Lord has come... Sincere heartfelt condolences to your wife, the mother and her son.... The wake service was a most sombre affair last night... The untimely passing of the deceased was terribly shocking... The poor widow appeared very dazed and lost, and very devastated ... Trying to come to terms with this sudden loss, confused and very traumatized... .. The dearly departed was warded early wednesday morning due to a lung infection... But he had a failing blood pressure that the hospital could not stopped... Turned out he suffered a heart attack, lying there in the hospital ICU bed... Imagine the traumatizing horror for the widow who had scrambled in the morning hours... Sending her beloved husband to check in at the nearest hospital... He was just having an infection,,giving rise to some slight breathing problems... It has happened before, a lung infection and hence some breathing problems... Nothing that a routine check up by a doctor in the hospital can't cure... But why was he wheeled into emergency, with that cold clinical efficiency... Doctor, doctor, I have been here for hours, what is actually going on.... Madam, for the umpteenth time, where are the other family members... Yes, we are doing all we can, the patient is in very critical condition... A routine check in for breathing problems caused by some lung infection.. How can it be that serious, why the need for more family members.....? People who know and those who care, the patient has passed on... Those who can, please do give the family the moral support... This is the ultimate in the untimely loss of a loved one, totally unexpected.... Sending a loved one to hospital for a minor ailment, emerging with a casket... RIP for the departed one, your time with the Lord has come... For the bereaved and loved ones, heartfelt and sincere sympathies... .
