Robert Plotnek

21st December 1989 - 5th March 2003

 

It is with a terrible sense of sadness that I announce the death of Robert on 5th March 2003.  In hindsight Robert had been unwell on and off right from the day following his Barmitzvah, 30th November 2002, suffering from a succession of non-specific viral and bacterial infections.  He had been to both Great Ormond Street Hospital and Birmingham Children's Hospital, and even been an in-patient at BCH for some two weeks.  After treatment for suspected pneumonia he was deemed well enough to go home and was discharged on 4th March.  Robert felt unwell on the evening of 5th March and was taken to A&E at BCH at around 7:00pm.  He suddenly collapsed at about 8:15pm and efforts to resuscitate him were stopped at 8:53pm.

Robert was buried at 4:00pm on 6th March at Witton Cemetery, Birmingham, according to Jewish custom.

He enriched the lives of everyone he met, and his indomitable spirit was a lesson to us all.

This site is dedicated to the surgeons and nurses of the Birmingham Children's Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, London.

In addition we can never begin to thank that selfless family who, in their time of grief, were caring enough to allow their child's heart to go for transplant.  If not for them we would not have had those extra years with Robert.
