@WhitHealth Sorry but what message are you sending here? If you’re sick enough to need ICU, you should not be expected / encouraged or supported to do exams He should be allowed to fully recover and then be assessed. Real support would be finding way for him to do exams later.

In midst of unimaginable tragedy, #LucyDee z’l family gave permission for the murdered mother of 5 to #donate her #organs . Such a positive, brave & altruistic act in the face of such loss #MaiaLee z’l #RinaLee z’l May their memories be for a blessing

Lucy Dee dies of wounds three days after terror attack that killed her 2 daughters

Family donates organs of 48-year-old, who was critically injured in Friday shooting in northern Jordan Valley while traveling to Tiberias for family trip

@matthaig1 Possibly the happiest thread I’ve ever seen on twitter. Just lovely. Here’s ours - July 24th 1983 - one week before I started working as a newly qualified doc. This is my favourite photo - my dear late parents, my father’s advice to my husband “Courage mon brave”!!!
