Hamid Sabeti (29 Nov 1934 - 22 Nov 2021)

In memory of a Dr Hamid Sabeti.

Dear Uncle Hamid, Thank you for being a funny and kind uncle, and for your great care as the elder Sabeti brother and doctor to the entire Sabeti family. The many summer holidays you all spent with us are some of my most cherished memories growing up, and the time I spent with you as a young adult living in England a special gift. I am heartened that you are never far as you have infused Shari and Amir with your incredible wit and warm coy smile are caring way, and you have brought the lovely Sima into our lives to remind us always of the great light you shined on all of us. I love you and will miss you in this life. Beh Omid eh Didar.

A crater left by the greatest father and kindest, funniest man - will always love you.

I have already attended the funeral and memorial service for dear Dr. Hamid Sabeti, but I wanted to leave this message of condolence here to the Sabeti family on behalf of the Iranian Medical Society in the UK (IMS-UK). Dr. Sabeti was a long-standing member of the IMS-UK and he actively took part in many activities and events of the society over years. He will always be remembered and we cherish his memory.

With deep sympathy,

For and on behalf of the IMS-UK Executive Committee

It is with a sense of deep sadness and loss that I
now remember the few times that I had the good fortune of spending some time with Dr Sabeti . Once when I was visiting London with my family and stayed at Aunt Sima and Dr’s house and another time, a few years past, when they visited Las Vegas. What always stood out to me during these encounters or our occasional conversations over the phone was the genuine warmth and kindness that I always felt. He had a big heart, a ready smile and a wonderful sense of humor.
He will always be remembered with great fondness .
May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Dr.Sabeti
I will never forget your kindness and humanity,
today you are not with us,but you will be in my
heart for ever.

In fond memories of Dr Sabeti’s warm friendship with our dear father Hamid Khan Bakhtiar.

هرگزم نقش تو از لوح دل و جان نرود
هرگز از یاد من آن سرو خرامان نرود
از دماغ من سرگشته خیال دهنت
به جفای فلک و غصه دوران نرود
در ازل بست دلم با سر زلفت پیوند
تا ابد سر نکشد وز سر پیمان نرود
هر چه جز بار غمت بر دل مسکین من است
برود از دل من وز دل من آن نرود
آن چنان مهر توام در دل و جان جای گرفت
که اگر سر برود از دل و از جان نرود
گر رود از پی خوبان دل من معذور است
درد دارد چه کند کز پی درمان نرود
هر که خواهد که چو حافظ نشود سرگردان
دل به خوبان ندهد وز پی ایشان نرود

Our donation is in memory of Dr Hamid Sabeti our much respected and admired dear friend.

I was hearbroken to hear of Dr Sabeti's passing. He was one the kindest and most generous men I knew. Growing up, without a father in London, Dr Sabeti often filled in the role with his kindness - never missing a birthday or an important event - always sharing his wisdom and advice, and generally being supportive and caring. When my father passed away Dr Sabeti was a rock and helped me with the initial grieving and the troubles that ensued. He was also one of the most impressive, clever and intutively brilliant doctors I've ever met or consulted with. His bedside manner was superb and his diagonsis and prognosis second to none. He seemed to me a wonderful and compassionate father to Amir and Shari who were my childhood friends, and whose successes and great achievements in life are testimony to their wonderful parents, as well as their own efforts. Dr Sabeti was a great man and will be truly missed. May he rest in peace and I wish solace and tasliat migam to those many loved ones and family that he leaves behind.

I’m still struggling to accept the reality that you’re no longer with us. It all still feels like a bad dream rather than reality.
We may have not been related by blood but you were still an amazing grandfather to me. Your jokes and laughter always lit up the room you were in and now everywhere feels empty without your presence.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and our family, you will always be remembered and missed.
Rest in peace Granddad

Farnaz and I received the shocking and sad news of Dr Sabeti’s passing in total disbelief. Each of us have had a deep and personal connection with him. For my wife Farnaz, whose father was a famed professor of medicine and a teacher of Hamid in the University of Tehran’s medical school, he was a much loved and respected former student of her dad and felt so close to him. For me, he belonged to the same profession as my father and I always viewed him as a very dear uncle. But Hamid Sabeti was much more than these. He was a principled man of unparalleled integrity, humanity and professionalism. To those who were lucky to know him whether as a friend or a colleague or were his patients, Dr Sabeti was the most reliable and sincere man they could have found. I shall never forget his daily supportive calls and life saving advice last year when both my mother and brother were in the throes of fighting a severe case of Covid and Dr Sabeti was there as a beacon hope and strength to us all. I consider myself very fortunate to have known him for nearly four decades. There are people you meet in your life who never disappear from your thoughts and minds and remain as alive as ever. Dr Hamid Sabeti was such an individual. Farnaz and I extend our deepest sympathies to Hamid’s beloved wife, Sima Khanom, and his much loved children Shari and Amir and their respective families.
