FUCK! 

 

I think I speak for a dozen DDP teams (incl. two jokers)

Ah well, the picture is a few weeks old. Pancreatic cancer can move fast. But we never knew how advanced her cancer was/is, at least I don't know.

‘The specialist centre, to be named the Dame Clare Marx Building, will have at least six theatres and two wards…’

 

ok us Yanks must call it something else cuz I’ve never heard the term theatre in relation to a hospital.  What is meant by theatre?  Floors?  Wings?

Operating theatre. Where surgeries are performed. 

 

Named a theatre as doctoral students would watch the operation as part of their studies. Lemony Snicket covered this in his 8th of the 13 A Series of Unfortunate Events books, in which one of the main characters is almost decapitated by the main antagonist in front of onlookers. A good read which I recommend.

Henry Heimlich (Mr. Heimlich maneuver) is still around at 96.

 

Additionally, the two men involved in the first implantation of an artificial heart, Denton Cooley (b. 1920) and Domingo Liotta (b. 1924), are also still alive.

Domingo Liotta (wiki) dead at 97.

Disappointedly not picked in the DDP. Wouldn't be shocked if he picked up a QO (via the Telegraph, Guardian or Times) over the coming weeks.

So many people for so few spots. At this point we could create free theme teams for other players, there's so many!

John Marks (wiki), doctor and chair of the British Medical Association (1984–1990), died yesterday at the age of 97, according to a Facebook post from his wife.

Marks was one of the very few surviving doctors who joined the NHS during the period of its creation.

Local obit as confirmation. Quite an incredible guy. I expect a QO will follow at some point (though he wasn't a DDP pick).

Not many doctors still around from the foundation of the NHS in 1948, though surgeon Harold Ellis CBE (wiki) is 97 in January and one to watch.

Another from my long list. 

 

I can be PM'd by those needing notable oldie DDP team fodder ideas.

Didn't take long. Times obit for Dr. Marks.

Indian-born American ophthalmologist Sohan Hayreh (Wiki) dead at 95

Dr. Samuel Katz, co-developer of the measles vaccine currently used worldwide, died 31st October aged 95.

Archiater of Finland Risto Pelkonen looking quite decrepit in recent pictures:

Not sure if the title "Archiater" is used anywhere else anymore (except the Vatican, the Pope's personal doctor is apparently called Archiater) but in Finland it's the highest honorary title awarded to a physician by the President. There's only one at a time, the title is always held until death and usually the Archiater is active until death. Risto Lauri Agathon Pelkonen has held the title since 1995 and is now 91. Not such an "iconic" holder of the title like Arvo Ylppö, father of Finland's public maternity and child health clinic system also known internationally for his research on preterm birth and infant mortality, but might turn out to be a good pick for those pools that allow less famous picks.

I don't believe it. I've actually cost myself the DDP by dropping my defensive trio of Smith, Parker and James. (That's the points difference between me and Spade.)

It says a lot about modern deadpooling that Marx is my tenth hit, as well as my joker, yet I still only scrape (for now) into the top 40.

 

At least her death, after one heck of a courageous fight, as well as Maurice Norman's, makes picking 2023 alumni a bit easier.

Wow I had written her off to the extent that I wasn't even going to re-pick her for next year.

Widely cited neurosurgeon, aneurysm, stroke expert and professor emeritus Juha Hernesniemi dead at 75. Not said what he died from, maybe a stroke. Good friend of Risto Pelkonen who I have mentioned on this thread.
