Tbt…at 15.59 Dr Bee Boon Cheak, Consultant Nephrologist alerted me with this short message.. Hi YB Datuk Seri, Our deceased organ donor this morning, Selayang Hospital (liver, bilateral kidneys, bilateral corneas, heart and heart valve).. He later gave a longer whasap and l take liberty to share it here…🙏 This is the story for this kindhearted young donor whose compassion touched everyone around him. Just one month ago, he spoke to his parents about his wish to become an organ donor. With full understanding and love, they supported his decision. According to his mother, he did not buy any Raya clothes this year — almost as if, deep down, he knew his time in this world would be short. On his phone, he had kept information about the National Kidney Foundation, a quiet reflection of his intention to give life to others. Today, on what is also his mother’s birthday, she holds onto his final wish. Through her grief, she finds strength in honoring what he wanted — to give hope and life to others even after he is gone.🌹 With a mother’s love and courage, she pleaded with us to help fulfill her son’s last wish in this life.🥹 At around 4 a.m. this morning, the “walk of honor” took place. In those solemn moments, he was not alone. Surrounded by family and many friends, they walked alongside him — a final journey filled with love, respect, and gratitude.❤️ Though his life was brief, his legacy will live on in the lives he saves.🤲🤲🌺🌺😍😍 Tears welled in my eyes as l wrote back… Dear Dr Bee, In a moment of loss, this family chose courage, generosity, and humanity beyond measure. Their decision transforms grief into grace, and sorrow into salvation for others..❤️🌹 May God Almighty envelop this soul in His infinite Mercy-Rahmah, grant them the highest place in His Paradise & place them among those who are received with honour and tranquillity..🤲🌹❤️🤲

Ever wondered why lean people are more likely to die from MAFLD compared to their non-lean counterparts? 🤔#LiverTwitter #medtwitter New study shows that they have ⬆️ telomere shortening which is linked to increased mortality.

#Hepatitis B can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine. The vaccine is usually given soon after birth with boosters a few weeks later. It offers nearly 100% protection against the virus. bit.ly/3b8J3Cc

1/2 Sad to hear about the passing of Professor Sir Roy Calne, the pioneer of Europe's first successful liver transplant in 1968. His groundbreaking work at Addenbrooke's Hospital changed the history for those with life-threatening liver diseases, offering a second chance at life.
