A Doctor's Death.

Tweet

Whenever I fetch or bring my daughter to the hospital where she works, I always stay in the car. Why? Because I noticed that every time I go inside the hospital premises, like sitting in the lobby area or the radiology waiting room where I could watch television news, I end up sneezing several times later. So, I stayed in the car instead and played Candy Crash. I also ordered my daughter to shower in the doctor's lounge, before coming to the car. True. Bacteria and viruses lurk in the hospital, especially the emergency room. This morning, news reports has it that Dr. Li Wenliang, the ophthalmologist who was observant and tact enough to recognize the seeming increase in number of hospital patients, checked on the test results, and expressed warning to fellow doctors about the novel coronavirus, expired. China's police was not kind to him, and the government even considered him an alarmist. But he was right all along. Admirable, this 34 year old doctor and family man, he had the courage to perform his duty to warn colleagues of something strange. As doctors are sworn to do. In spite of the repression China's government has imposed on its people. Prayers for this hero, his death is a testament that the medical crew in the front line of emergency are always compromised. His sacrifice could actually have saved many. China must laud this young doctor a hero.
