He was a physician, a father, a world traveler, and in the end, a fighter. My grandfather suffered a stroke 10 years ago, like tens of thousands of Canadians do every year, and it drastically changed his, and our family's lives. The fact that modern medicine couldn't prevent or cure his inability to walk, get dressed, or hold his grandchildren was incomprehensible to me. It made me realize that progress in science and medicine requires a continuous battle against nature, and sometimes we lose.
