Just wanted to say that I attended the funeral today of a work colleague of many years.

He was an orthopaedic surgeon who I have known since he was a senior house officer and sadly he died on Saturday from Carcinoma of the stomach with bony secondaries.

The whole process from feeling unwell enough to visit his doctor , to his passing on Saturday was just one year exactly !!

I feel that I have lost a dear friend and that the hospital has lost a valuable, competent and capable surgeon.

Sorry to be maudling - I feel better having put it down on paper.
