A
doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an
urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and 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 and said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and 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
angrily.
The
doctor smiled again and replied: "I will say what Job said in the
Holy Book-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 advises when we are 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 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." Contented the father when seeing the nurse minute 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 are going through."
God
so loved the world that he sent his only Son that whoever believes in
him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. (Jn. 3.16)
