ABSTRACT
Reuven Shiloah died suddenly, much too soon. He passed away at the Tel Hashomer Hospital near Tel Aviv, but despite his hospitalization, apparently no one - not even his doctors and least of all Shiloah himself - had the slightest suspicion that his end was so close at hand. He continued working at the hospital as though he were going back to his office in a few days. He never took his physical condition seriously, and in fact had neglected himself over many years.
