Roddy Cameron

Roddy Cameron, an old friend of mine from Aberdeen, died today in Edinburgh. He'd been waiting a year for a liver transplant.

The call finally came through from Edinburgh late on Thursday night that a suitable donor liver was available and he left Aberdeen by ambulance at 3.00am on Friday morning. The transplant began at 9:00am that day and ended at 3:00pm but he suffered three cardiac arrests during the operation. The third arrest was fatal. By then the liver had been transplanted.

I'll remember him as he was, all those years ago, when we were at school and University together. He was a great bloke.
