There is no greater pain than the loss of a loved one and, no matter how much time passes, that feeling is not overcome, but rather you learn to live with it. The tragic news that the hematologist Alberto López, 35 years old, has died after years of fighting a “long illness” that has shaken to the health sector. Some of his colleagues wanted to pay tribute to the figure of this professional and how important he was to them, both inside and outside the hospital.
One of them has been Juan Carlos Caballero, Hematology resident at the Jiménez Díaz Foundation. In his old Twitter profile, she has stated that he pain you feel after the news is “unbearable, enormous and unbearable.” “I never thought that he would live this day, no matter how tortuous the road was, no matter how contrary the wind was,” he indicated in his message along with a photo with López.
For Caballero, his partner was a person who did not leave anyone indifferent. “You filled the room, you made us small. Sometimes you even exhausted us with your infinite energy. But where did you get it from? How unfair”, he has written, noticeably hurt by the event.
The emotional messages from a doctor to his colleague
He also wanted to remember the time when he taught him to stage CLL with his hands, to discuss “like no one has ever done” for a CT scan and to know the “best” margaritas in Chamberí. “Destiny has twisted life, it has perverted it, it has laughed at us and It has made us suffer. He has put us in our place. He has taught us a lesson, but he has also shown us that 35 years can seem like 80 if you live every day as if it were your last“, has underlined.
With emotional messages full of pain, sadness, but also beautiful moments between them, he recalled how he has seen his friends “mutate” into doctors, with an “unconditional and transparent” love. “With a lot of pain, with crying and with ears. A bad dream come true. The laughter died down and ‘La Rosalía’ went off, and it no longer played on 36,” she lamented.
López’s mark on his patients
Even with all this sorrow that runs through Caballero’s body, this doctor recognizes that, in each of López’s patients, he still sees his mark, his contribution to the world and his “infinite legacy.” “Even with your departure you have taught me things. You leave us your contribution to Medicineto laughter and to life,” he explained.
To conclude, Caballero has promised that he will always remember him. “You have marked my residence, our hearts and our lives. I hope I don’t disappoint you. Don’t doubt that we will do the last thing you didn’t ask for. See you in Cabo de Gata, friend”, he has finished.
