Received call from ex colleague in Hospital Pasir Puteh. My ex MO, ex colleague Dr Suriani Abdul Kadir had passed away in Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II at about 8 in the morning.
She had been induced for labour which proceeded badly so she had to be operated on. Apparently earlier this morning she had complained of chest pains. She collapsed in ward and attempts at resuscitation had failed.
I'm still in a state of shock. Kak Su (as I affectionately called her, despite being the same age, her birthday only one day before mine) had always been so accommodating, so friendly and so adored by the staff at Tanah Merah Hospital.
The twist is, ever since I knew her, as a naive, stupid houseman in HKB, up to when we worked together as MOs in Tanah Merah, she had been trying so hard to get a baby. Good naturedly she would always keep us up to date with the latest food supplement, or treatment that she had gone through.
Senior, colleague, friend, daughter, wife - I'm sure she will be missed by all.
Al-Fatihah.
