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.”
In everything give
thanks and beware of your words. Pray for a tongue that brings peace.
............... ............... .......Say Amen somebody!!
