A medical doctor, Donald Aniekwe with Twitter handle @draizident, found himself deeply moved after reading a letter from a terminally ill patient who ultimately succumbed to cancer.
The patient’s letter, entrusted to her sister, expressed profound gratitude for Dr. Aniekwe’s unwavering support and compassionate care throughout her challenging battle with cancer.
Despite being reassigned to another unit, Dr. Aniekwe consistently went above and beyond to check up on his patient regularly, providing comfort and reassurance during her most difficult moments.
The patient, identified as Sister Grace, acknowledged Dr. Aniekwe’s efforts in the heartfelt letter, noting that his visits, even when he was assigned elsewhere, made a significant difference in her life.
The letter, addressed to Dr. Aniekwe, conveyed Sister Grace’s immense appreciation for the doctor’s presence and care.
She credited Dr. Aniekwe with alleviating her depression and providing strength through his compassionate approach, even when delivering difficult news about the severity of her condition.
She wrote;
“Dear Dr. Aniekwe, I want to thank you for being there for me. Even when they put you in another unit, you still came 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 to be depressed anymore with my cancer. I have been feeling depressed since my cancer started but you made it better, even when you told me my cancer was bad, and I may not make it, I still felt better the way you told me.
“I pray God will bless you in your career, your health and your finances. And give you a good wife. Amen. Sister Grace madam Teacher, Your friend and patient.”
