the other side.

Once again I'm standing on the wrong side of the glass doors of TTSH ICU. This time it isn't my grandad who is on the ventilator but my granduncle - pneumonia, septicaeia and endocarditis on ?BIPAP and ionotropic support.

So for an hour or 2 I'm not Dr Samuel, but family member Samuel, waiting patiently for the nurses to change the patient and all, then coming by his bedside not to takeblood/setplug/givedrug, but to hold his hand and tell him everything will be alright.

Granduncle, I'll be back! get well soon.
