A practicing Nigerian doctor shares a poignant letter received from a patient in her final moments before succumbing to cancer.
Doctor @draizident, on the microblogging platform X, expresses heartbreak as he discloses the letter handed to him by the sister of his late patient.
According to him, the cancer patient wrote the letter and instructed her sister to hand it to the medical professional who was kind to her during her health challenges.
In the note, she appreciates the doctor for his kind words and how he helped her battle through the depression of confronting a life-threatening disease.
“I lost a patient recently, she gave her sister this letter to give me before she passed. This profession, this profession! This life! 💔😭,” he captions the letter.
The letter reads in part, “I want to thank you for being there for me. Even when they put you in another unit, you still come to check up on me. You are a good doctor, and I pray for you every time that God will bless your kind heart. You have made me not be depressed since my cancer started but you make it better…”
