After watching my brother die in hospital, I realised he also needed the care of a good GP

My brother died at the age of 53 less than two months after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.

His death resulted from a drug-induced interstitial lung disease leading to respiratory failure.

A non-smoker who led an active lifestyle and cherished the outdoors, he had developed dizziness and double vision just two weeks before his diagnosis.

Subsequent investigations had uncovered multiple metastases in his brain, causing alarming pressure symptoms.
