A sixth doctor in Canada has suddenly passed away this month.
Candace Nayman, a 27-year old doctor from McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH) in Hamilton, unexpectedly collapsed while competing in a triathlon on July 24.
“The entire MCH community is heartbroken over the tragic passing of Dr. Nayman, a pediatric resident. She embodied the excellence, caring, compassion and change-the-world attitude to which we all aspire,” the statement said. “We are sending love today to her family, friends and loved ones.”
“In her 27 years, she lived an active and full life through her love of world travel, frequent camping and outdoor adventures, passion for music and arts, and a wide network of friends, colleagues, and study partners,” the website said.
“Candace was a beloved sister and daughter, a friend and confidant, a mentor and guide, an athlete and coach, and an inspiration to many.”
Five Other Cases
On July 27, Trillium Health Partners (THP), which operates hospitals in Toronto and Mississauga, posted a statement on Twitter, informing the public of the sudden passing of three of its doctors.“Dr. Jakub Sawicki, Dr. Stephen McKenzie and Dr. Lorne Segall were respected physicians who dedicated their lives to caring for their patients and community,” THP said in a statement.
“It is with deep sadness that THP mourns the loss of three of our physicians who recently passed away.”
Similar to THP, the hospital said Hannam’s death has nothing to do with the vaccine.
The fifth case is a physician in Melville, Saskatchewan, who died unexpectedly on July 23.
According to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and Emmanuel Health, Dr. Shahriar Jalali Mazlouman was “intelligent, hard-working, and a passionate physician.”
