Dedication Notice

Dedicated to the memory of MY wife of 26 years, 7 months and two days
B-MAY 10, 1946 d- December 18, 2013
OF A VERY RARE Health EVENT
A case of Guillian-Barre syndrome triggered by a case of Pneumonia and GI tract infection
causing Respiratory arrest -
quite literally a one in a million event
She was dead less than 24 hours after entering the hospital

To put a context to this event, My primary doctor told me that in 30 years of practice
He and his partner has had 850,000 Patients.
