Your Dad was my father's wedding best man. Eng. Washington Olweny was a man of few words and his legacy lives on. May he continue to rest in peace. Blessings.
Dr. Olweny i don't know what i can say to you. But in this life i look up to yu. I wouldn't be what i am today if yu never extended your hand. Just Like your dad who always inject wisdom into young people like us. I remember Mzee Olweny used to call me Kijana. N he told me one day when he gave us some work n we didn't do as he wanted n told me Kijana you know i will punish you but yu will still do that job. N he said, wewe ni kijana n you are to do something the best way possible. I really Miss Mzee Olweny. N to the Olweny's Family, i will always be greatful to you always.
The medical system in our country is very questionable n rotten to think a Professional doctor would ask you such a question during a matter of life and death is very disgusting. Thank you for sharing your story.May your dad continue resting in peace. Still coming to terms with the loss of my mum 7 months ago. Healing is a process.
Bless your hear Doc.Olweny.You are a true son.Taking care of an ill parent is the best gift you can give them for taking care of your when they had the strength.I took of my mum and as she now rests in peace,my heart is at peace knowing that I did my best as daughter.She died knowing that she was valued.
I met my dad at his funeral service..I had refused to view his body so it was really meeting his photo and coffin. Long story short - I still grieve a man I never met.
Well spoken Dr. Olweny. The senior Olweny was a man with a golden heart and a father par excellence. He remains for some of us the yard stick for an ideal parent, loving without restraint and guiding without ego. God bless his soul and God bless your family too
So sorry for your loss. The callousness of some members of the medical profession is beyond heartbreaking. May mzee rest in peace. You did great representing your dad, as a son in the medical profession. Well told.
so sorry for your loss.It's evident your bond with your dad was strong.It's never easy letting your loved ones go no matter what.Oh! your flawless narration and good command of English is quite impressive.
So sorry. Modern medicine can extend death as opposed to life. Unfortunately we don't like to have the discussion with our loved ones while we are well as to how far they should go when we are sick. Hence life is prolonged/Death extended leaving our loved ones emotionally and financially drained.
This is raw and very emotional and nerve wrecking.I lost my only brother 3 weeks ago after 5 days in a coma. May his soul rest in peace. May the death of your father which is a brave inspiration of braving on the transition of a family member. It is hard to see loved ones transition. May God continue healing your hearts.
Thank you for sharing your story...... So bold, and that's some awesome bond between father and child...May his soul rest in peace, may healing be your portion........I share in all these emotions... Only that i did not have a chance to walk with mine through his journey.... This is the 12th yr, I have cried like everything has just happened....But to think i am not alone in this, is kinda comforting.........
I commend you....not sure with the kind of relationship you had feels like it's the same one i have with my dad....i will never have the courage to talk about him the way you have.....Good keep my old man for me....He is the only reason am alive apart from my children..
Well put county mate. Mr. Washington Olweny was a legend. Rich legacy he left behind. Too bad his burial was marred with issues which wasn't deserving. Awuoro
My story it's the same . I lost mom and dad my of cancer. It's very painfull after losing someone whom you care about. It's only God can bring calmness i our lifes.
DG was such a goodhearted person, with few words ...His legacy lives on( like father like son u r) ..thanks Daktari for sharing his last journey ..#Evans sunrise medical center
I felt the same when I lost my sister in 2019 May , went through the same experience of signing that document , having a doctor tell you ....how far do you want to go....I'm still traumatized till now , I grieve for my sister , she fought but didn't succeed. At times I feel I let her down . It's so painful to talk about it but watching this , gives me hope that one day I will talk about my experience. Pole daktari .
May his soul rest in peace Baba, till we meet again.is sad to see your loved one resting my sister in law pass away till now aim still in pain 10 month, LORD sometime l feel its a bad dream..
I lost my mum to Lung cancer. She was misdiagnosed for more than 2 years in this so called 5 star hospitals. A month to her diagnosis, she insisted on being admitted till they find out what was really the problem. They then started her on chemo which was toxic to her. After two months we decided to take her for treatment in India where she passed away after eight months unfortunately the cancer was in its final stage.These so called top hospitals are useless. The greed and ignorance that is there is heartbreaking.
Am confused. I lost my dad 8 months ago in one of these '5 star hospitals' - after operation headless, the script/fashion is amazingly similar. I stop grieving. Then I start again. Am told if I don't understand death, I may not understand life. But the similarity in the dying 'fashion' in these establishments confuses my understanding. It is not well.
Euginia Atieno May God just give strength to whoever has lost his or.her.family members.especially the nuclear family It is unbearable pain untold sorrow

So sorry for your ordeal. I'm surprised that a Pet Scan was not done prior to surgery. In India almost all cancer cases have a Pet Scan done prior to any treatment.
The attitude some doctors have gives the impression that they are in it for money, no heart or compassion! Medics at times forget that the handling of patients family is equally important in managing any illness.
We mistakenly assume that doctors are called to the profession. Unfortunately, the skewed nature of our academic system chooses doctors not on basis of their compassion rather their grades. Everything boils down to the individual doctor..their character especially.
In today's Kenya, so many of the 'doctors' are not really doing it as a calling but as a way of making money. The horror stories that people give is just heart wrenching.
Yep. Been there & family left with a bill that resembles a serial number. But of importance is the payment - the dead and the grief you take some place else. They don't treat grief and compassion wastes their time.
