Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year.
Colleagues and Friends,
It is with great sadness that we inform you that Dr. Frederick Isaac Shane passed away on 5:39 AM November 12th, 2014.
Dr. Shane was a humble, kind, incredibly generous friend and mentor to us in the medical field. He was a much loved colleague and he will be greatly missed.
Dr. Shane was the director of the American Clinic Tokyo (formerly known as the Shane Clinic) for 60 years before his retirement in 2013. He devoted his entire career to serving the English speaking community in Japan.
Messages of condolence can be sent to Clara Takahashi 090-3876-6684 clarakct@fides.dti.ne.jp
