This should not have happened. Well, we always wish things like these to never happen, but this , definitely, should not have happened.
One of my cousin brothers, Rakesh Bhai -- Minu Bhai to us all -- progressed to the higher world on 5th September, 2012. Suddenly, without any foreward, warning, indication, insinuation...
One hears that he came home from office as usual, had dinner and was relaxing when he started feeling very uneasy. He told his younger brother of the same and asked to be taken to a doc. They went to a diagnostic centre (Mohan Clinic) owned (apparently) by their regular doc. He underwent an ECG, which showed he had suffered from a severe heart attack! To their --and now, everybody's -- shock, the centre did not have the life-saver drug to administer! That too, even though they have an ICU!! Now, I am no authority on life-savers in the case of an attack, but hello! They are a diagnostic centre! They should have had something to relieve him! They just expressed their inability to treat him...
Prudence overruled and they went to Woodlands Hospital, where they cites unavailability of bed. Same case in B.M. Birla.
Finally, he was taken to Belle Vue Hospital, but unfortunately, till then, our dear cousin was no more....:'( .
He was a person loved by one and all....no bad habits, no speaking bad about anyone, let alone any untoward deeds...the worst thing was, when he passed away, neither his wife nor his kids were near him...but, in hindsight, I'd also like to say one thing, which not many like to hear...he went away in one of the best possible manner --- no suffering, no pain...no illness stretched unbearably, no trouble to family members to take care of him. He went away like he lived...smoothly, without making a noise. That's how I'd like to go too.
We will miss you Minu Bhai...you were a boon to the family. May the Almighty give rest to your soul. May you smile down upon us from Heaven.
Amen!
