One day, a doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being
called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call as soon as possible,
changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the
boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad
yelled:
“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that
my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled & said:
“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast
as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I
can do my work”
“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now,
would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the
father in anger
The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job
said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be
the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your
son, we will do our best by God’s grace”
“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy”
Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours, after which the doctor went out
happy,
“Thank goodness! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for
the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question,
ask the nurse!!”
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so
that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse
minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son
died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for
your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to
finish his son’s burial.”
Moral - Never judge anyone, because you never know how their
life is & what they’re going through.
