Sad Day

One of my colleagues passed away today. You can say Medical Field has developed hell a lot, but still there are things which a doctor cant comprehend. Take the example of this person. The thing about Consulting field is that you are required to travel to any part of the world, wherever your customer is. So, this person had to go to Taiwan for a project and after he came back from there, he developed a mysterious fever.. He goes to doctor, takes medication, the fever goes away. Since then, he used to get this fever regularly, and he used to take medicines for that, it used to recede, then after some time the same fever...

One fine day, the fever becomes worse... Gets admitted in a hospital and the doctors dont know what the problem is! They can just see that the lungs are not functioning properly and WBC count is getting less or rather, there is no production of WBC at all ... They consult doctors from US and even to them this is a mystery! The only thing that can be done is to inject blood of others where the WBC count is healthy and see if the condition improves. Last wednesday, i was one among the colleagues who had given blood for him, and he was fighting for his life in ICU and still the condition was the same.. And today, hes no more!

Survived by wife who had gone back home to deliver a child last week ! I dont know what to say!
