[Essay] My dying student

As a doctor for almost 40 years now, and especially as a geriatrician, I have cared for my share of terminal patients. However, to date I have never had to face a dying medical student. As Sakal's Dean, this was especially onerous. And I know that one is not supposed to confess this, as in the eyes of the faculty all students are equal, but Sakal was one of my favourites. That being said, I am sure that none of his classmates would be upset by my admission, since he probably was one of the best liked of his fellows.
