Details surrounding her death were confirmed by the Association of Surgeons’ Agreement (SKALPEL).
It was revealed how loved the doctor was and that her colleagues “envied her tons of chocolates” which she kept in a cabinet.
She had even earned the nickname “Dr Pocahontas” because of her cheerful nature, as reported by Need To Know.
“She fell asleep after a shift and never woke up,” SKALPEL said in the statement.
“She was not yet 40.
“She loved horses, birds, plants, but she had the most heart for patients.
“She was a model of empathy and committed to conversation with them, everyone envied her tons of chocolates in the cabinet.
“She could laugh at everything, but she also took her duties very seriously.
“In this respect, she modeled herself mainly on her mom, who was a doctor in Chicago.
“One time, a patient came [in during her] shift [and said] ‘Are you Dr. Pocahontas?’.
“And that was her charming nickname.
“R.I.P. Pocahontas.
“I’m proud that I met you.
“I will miss you so much.”
Anna’s exact cause of death has not yet been determined and she is set to undergo an autopsy.
