I mentioned her way back in 2015:

It looks like the UK obit hasn't materialized, in spite of the prominent NYT obit. Interesting medical story, if you care.

 

Well, well, well,

 

Amy Reed got an obit from....The Daily Mail:

I actually suspect that Lakovic didn't get an obit because he was Canadian, not American. And Suisala didn't get one because he was a uhh...New Zealandian (I don't want to say Kiwi)...not an Aussie.

The old "here's someone dying young", let's not mention they died thing.

 

The Lakovic thing does surprise though: I mean, look at the useless sods getting obits...

Dr. Lawrence L. Weed, who introduced a system for organizing patient data in the 1950s that is now used in hospitals all over the world, and who led the way in developing a computerized method for aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, died on June 3 at his home in Underhill, Vt. He was 93.
He created the problem-oriented medical record, or 
POMR, a way of recording and monitoring patient information. Two of its features have become universal in health care: the compiling of problem lists and the SOAP system for writing out notes in a patient chart. SOAP stands for subjective, objective, assessment and plan, reflecting the steps that doctors and other health care providers should follow as they move from an initial patient encounter to tests, diagnosis and treatment.

Ted Stanley, an anesthesiologist and medical entrepreneur who, with a colleague, created the fentanyl lollipop, a palatable means of delivering a synthetic opioid analgesic, mostly to cancer patients, died on July 13 in Salt Lake City. He was 77.

The cause was complications of prostate cancer, according to the University of Utah, where Dr. Stanley conducted research for 50 years and which, along with him and his drug company, reaped millions of dollars in profits from his discovery.

Though prescribed primarily in cancer treatment, the fentanyl-laced lollipop, a sugary, fruit-flavored confection on a plastic stick, has also been used to relieve migraine and cluster headaches, severe back and bone pain, arthritis, and other chronic conditions.

I thought that was Sattar Edhi. And some other person who was a DDP hit before him. How many Mother Theresa's do they have in Pakistan?

Little Brother pakistan, and big brother India. They probably have Mother Theresa envy.

Arthur J. Moss, a researcher who was credited with saving countless patients from fatal cardiac disorders, including a rare genetic heart glitch that can kill suddenly, died on Feb. 14 at his home in Brighton, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester. He was 86.  The cause was cancer.  Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., said of Dr. Moss, “He’s probably done more to advance our understanding of heart rhythm disorders than any cardiologist or researcher in the world.”

James F. Holland, a founding father of chemotherapy who helped pioneer a lifesaving drug treatment for pediatric leukemia patients, died on Thursday at his home in Scarsdale, N.Y. He was 92.  The cause was respiratory failure.   Dr. Holland and his medical collaborators in the 1950s were scorned by some colleagues as research “cowboys,” as he put it, because they audaciously tackled what was considered an incurable disease and tried to treat it with several chemicals simultaneously, instead of sequentially.

Indeed.  Before I posted his entry, I did a search for his surname and noticed it'd been mentioned twice in the Deathlist, both times in reference to the facility.
