What a dying patient’s handshake taught me about life and love
I was working in my oncology ward as usual when I received a call from the ICU to evaluate a patient.
The patient was a young male who had been admitted a few days earlier with severe respiratory distress. His workup raised suspicion of a possible malignancy.
This was the information provided to me by the doctor in the ICU.
When I entered the ICU, I met a young male doctor who accompanied me to see the patient. He provided a brief history on our way and guided me to the patient’s bedside.
