A Lagos-based medical doctor identified as Dr Akingbade of Veritas Clinics Limited, College Road, Ifako-Ijaiye Lagos died inside his office shortly after attending to a patient recently. According to a report by Vanguard, family sources say he might have died from exhaustion and stress but also had a history of hypertension.
One of the nurses on duty, Toyin Ifesan, while narrating what happened said “Our boss died at about 10.30pm shortly after he had closed for consultation. He went to see a patient on admission. Thereafter, he retired to his office and sat down. A nurse later went in there to ask him to go upstairs, where we have sleeping facilities, to sleep, having been working since morning.
On getting to the office, the nurse spoke to him but she got no response. She then pushed him, only to find that Dr Akingbade had passed on. The situation attracted everybody in the clinic. He was not sick before death.
The only thing we noticed was that, on that day, he was not jovial as he used to be. Unlike him, he talked to the staff without looking at their faces. He looked at the floor while talking to the staff. Our late boss was a very jovial person. He joked a lot with the staff as well as with patients before attending to them.
He would ask the patient where he came from, and when he told the place the patient came from, always had one or two things to say about the patients place and people. He was a problem solver when it came to illnesses. If you cry to his office, you will smile coming out.
He hardly attended social functions because of the fear that a critically ill patient that may be bought to his clinic may die before returning. So, he was always in the clinic most of the time.
Even anytime he hired a doctor to help attend to patients, most of patients still preferred his consultation because of his wide experience. Some would wait, no matter how long, to see him. Others would go and come back.”she said He will be buried early next year.

Pretty sad but thats a life he has chosen The lessons of today will be good for tomorrow .
Life continues even after death . And when we die some of the things we thought no one else can handle will be handled perfectly well .. So . while alive nothing wrong with delegating and combining work with pleasure . Take adequate rest and break when needed . although one cannot be too sure what the history of the disease is . Taking things in stride is a good strategy .to enjoy our work even better .
May the Good lord give the family the fortitude to bear the sudden loss in the family and a fitting replacement

Doctor has done a lot of good, may his soul rest in peace, doctors need time to rest and recover, am sure he understands that, and he seemed to be very happy to help.
