A doctor quickly entered the hospital after being called in for an
urgent surgery. He changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery
block. He saw the boy’s father walking back and forth in the hall
waiting for the doctor.
Once seeing the doctor, 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 the sense of responsibility?”
The
doctor smiled and said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I
came the fastest I could… 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 angrily.
The doctor smiled again and replied: “I
will say what is said in the Holy Bible ‘From dust we came and to dust
we return, blessed be the name of God.’ Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go
and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace.”
“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy” murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank God! 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: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery.”
