It was reported at CR&T that Dr. Ruben Mesa was unable to attend due to a cardiac issue. Fortunately it was quickly resolved. He’s going to rest up for a couple of days and plans to be back on the front lines fighting MPNs soon. Here is the immediate outpouring of affection and concern,

Mark Crandall said:

He is a serious man with an open heart, with no vanity, and with the patience and balance that distinguish really remarkable people. He epitomizes what the Buddhists call ‘right livelihood’ which is part of what they call the eight-fold noble path. I have always been impressed with this guy for his commitment to other people and the way he approaches medicine, and more broadly life, with generosity and compassion. He has the best medical care in the world so with just a little luck he’s going to be around for a good while longer for which I am very grateful.

I was so sorry to hear Dr Ruben Mesa has been unwell but glad to hear he received rapid treatment with insertion of a stent. I hope he has time to rest and recover before he resumes his busy schedule caring for and treating MPN patients around the world. We in the MPN community are so lucky to have such a caring, compassionate, brilliant doctor and researcher advocating for us. Sending prayers and best wishes for his speedy recovery.

The strangest thing is my last session with most of our conversation was about cardiace issues and how MPN’s impact the cardiovascular systerm. And how hard we we both were working.
