A Lung Cancer Patient’s Last Days

October 25, 2006

Mohammad Abdooh is a Lung Cancer patient who has allowed his last few days to be documented online in a blog and video documentary.

He is the poster boy of the Singapore Hospice Council on how dying patients are cared for. It basically shows hospice care in Singapore and how the last few days of  dying patients can be dealt with .

You can view Mohammad Abdooh's Video Blog here.  

I have met numerous chain smokers who are very defensive about their smoking habits. They make a lot of excuses on why they shouldnt stop smoking.They dont know that eventually smoking will affect their health maybe not in the short term but in the long term.

There are even cases of patients who are not smoking but due to smoke being inhaled in their work or home environments ,they are more susceptible to getting sick.

Parents who love their children must not smoke at home since they are putting their children in danger from second hand smoke. Pregnant moms are usually  advised not to smoke since it usually affects the weight and development of their babies.Smokers usually laugh off warnings about smoking saying that "if they die they die".

My father who is a smoker would usually hide his smoking habits from us. He would hide his cigarettes from us but we would usually catch him with his friends smoking away his health. I dont really know how hard it is to quit the smoking habit. But one has to start somewhere if one values ones health.
