House Doctor Strain

 He got general atherosclerotic heart n vessels disease which progressively worsen past few years. 

Recently got worst.

As such he died of heart attack in failing heart.

Though he recovered completely from a Covid infection few months back.

He was able to go home spend quality time with the family.

After few months of his successful recovery from Covid.But now succumbed to heart condition which was troubling him for past few years.

To me it is disheartening time and experience as a doctor.

At the beginning of my career as a doctor 32 years back, I had to handle and come to terms of my eldest sister who was going to die of septicaemia arising from long standing elephantiasis of her leg.

The medical team at the time ask me to get a peripheral line and convince her to go for amputation of her leg since they were not able to convince her.

Though I know she may not come out of that treatment but there is no other option.So with all the pain n naive of a junior most doctor, I was able to convince her. 

She accepted my advise because I am her brother rather than my professional advise.However she succumbed to the disease postoperatively.

At the time, I had  to prepare rest of the siblings of her deteriorating condition.

Now if I fast forward at my end of my career as a doctor.I had to help my youngest brother and last member of the family to pull through the disease for past few years.

As finally the time had come for him to depart eternally from us and I had to replay the role I played at the beginning of my career.

It is painful to be a doctor in a big family.

But all is worth it,if we going to be a help to the love ones at the time of need.🙇🏽
