A rather sobering entry, folks … you know how it's said that bad things happen in 3s. Who would ever have known? Three Australian personalities met their fate last week. Steve Irwin, Peter Brock and Colin Thiele (the author of ‘Storm Boy’). Irwin and Brocky died in tragic circumstances .. Colin passed away of old age.
Life is so fragile … so uncertain and so infinitely precious.
The week before last, I witnessed my patient pass away from a heart attack. The absolute chaos that broke out as we attempted to revive him and the subsequent quiet in the room when he was declared dead is difficult to explain. It is a humbling experience to be there when a person passes from this life to the next. I struggled with a multitude of emotions, with a deep sadness enveloping me for days.
My most sincere condolenscenes are extended to the families of the Aussie icons who passed away last week … and for my patient. May you rest in peace.
