A Doctor hurriedly entered a Hospital after been called on for a surgery. He answered the call as soon as possible, changed his clothes and went straight to the surgery block. On getting to the door post, he saw a Man who seem very upset. On seeing him, the doctor suspected him to be the father of the boy (patient); of course he was.
The man yelled at the Doctor, "Why did you take all this time to come?"
Not waiting for him to answer, he posed another question "Don't you know that my son's life is in danger?" and again "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 wished 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 died now, what will you do? Said the father angrily.
The doctor smiled and and replied, "from dust we came, to it we shall return, blessed be 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" mummured the father
The surgery took some hours after, which the doctor came out happily and and said ," thank goodness your son is saved!" without waiting for the man's reply he said " if you have any question ask the nurse" why is he so arrogant? He couldn't even wait some minutes for me to ask of my son's state?" Commented the father. When he later saw the nurses minutes later and asked why the doctor left in that manner, he was made to understand that He (the doctor ) lost his son and in his burial when he got the call for the surgery.
