Abstract
It was a gray Sunday in late February 1993, no longer cold enough for skiing or ice-skating but still chilly and windy enough to be oppressive. As a senior medical resident, I was glad to have a rare weekend off. Unfortunately, my fiancée, also a resident, had to do rounds that morning. She had started to cough and feel fatigued the night before, and I had tried to persuade her to stay home, but she wouldn't consider it. That was Mei — strong-willed, no-nonsense, dedicated. When there was a job to do, she did it, with verve and passion and with a sweet but determined smile on her face.
