Patients of a Calgary doctor killed in an apparent murder-suicide are expressing their horror and grief upon learning of her death.
Dr. Joanne Sun-Wah Tse, 69, operated a medical clinic along Bow Trail S.W.
One of her patients was Judy Chan, who says the pair first met nearly 25 years ago.
Chan says Tse took her under her wing and taught her about the health-care industry, showing her what it was like to work in a medical office as she decided what career to focus on.
"In a way, she was like a second mother to me, because I was spending so much time and doing my schoolwork, and then right after school I would be coming here," said Chan.
"My mom and her are about the same age, and they're both from Hong Kong."
