Dr Amged El-Hawrani, 55, an ear, nose and throat specialist, worked at Queenâs Hospital, Burton, and was the third medic to die of coronavirus in the UK.
His family paid tribute to a âloving and much-loved husband, son, father, brother and friendâ.
Mr El- Hawrani had not seen any patients for a number of weeks and had been receiving treatment in intensive care.
His son, Ashraf, said: âMost of my dadâs time was dedicated towards his family, and the rest of that time was dedicated towards his profession.
âHe taught me the significance of respect and equality. He also stressed the importance of not worrying about the things I cannot control, which he displayed to me right up until the end of his life.
âHe did not seek the praise and approval of others, he was satisfied by viewing the positive effects of his actions and the wellbeing of his family.
âI am incredibly proud to say that, for 18 years of my life, Amged El-Hawrani was my father.â
