A doctor entered the hospital in hurry....

[LadySophia]

I thought I should share this...

A doctor entered the hospital in a hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, 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 angrily.

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 advice when we're not concerned is so easy," murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor came 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 questions, ask the nurse!!"
"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait a minute so that I could ask about my son's state?" commented the father when seeing the nurse shortly 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."

This is all over Facebook. Is it true? I don't know. The credibility isn't helped by whoever created it for Facebook included a picture... a picture from Grey's Anatomy.

Cute. But I don't believe any of that Facebook crap.

Completely, but it has a nice moral I guess.

>.<

I did not post it to make it as though it was a real story. It was something nice to read to serve as a reminder that we do not know the stories behind the faces that we come across. We should consider people's circumstances. A smile to a stranger can go a long way or understanding in this case.

Yet another post where people completely miss the point...

It doesn't matter if this is a true story or not. It's a story to maybe open the eyes of another. It doesn't matter what your religion is. You shouldn't judge another because you have no clue what that person has/is going through.
That's the point.

the absolute fakeness and religious overtones ...

Agreed.

You better believe if I have to go through the pain and suffering of burying a family member that is supposed to bury me, that I will not be going into the hospital for ANYTHING. This is what coverage is for, medevac, emergency transport via EMS. I don't ever see this happening.

Nice morals to read to a 5-year-old on his bedside.

It's more important to practice what you preach, and although everyone may agree with that moral, not everyone is going to take it with them to the grave.

there are more than enough true anecdotes of amazing selfless work by physicians to deliver the same message without having to resort to hamhanded fiction

Using parable and fable to convey a moral isn't anything new. All this does is put it in a context that people in medicine can agree with.

And agreed, it is heavy handed. But lighten up, people. Not everything good in life is backed by facts, figures, and stats.

It's a fictional story with a moral. Take it for what it is.

They really couldn't find someone to cover for him so he could bury his son?

I love that story 😳

Awww

Thanks for sharing OP! =)

While the particulars of the story may be a reach, doctors deal with situations that are way too close to home sometimes. It's part of being a doc and another reason why not everyone can do it. Professional distance only gets you so far.

Good thing they keep stenographers in hospital waiting rooms

Yeah and I could make up a story about some ******* doctor who killed the kid and told the dad to suck it. They'd both be just as true.

Made up "chicken soup" story does NOT serve as a good reminder of anything besides reminding people of how much they hate these made up anecdotes that spread like H1N1 on facebook.

No surgeon would be on call during their son's funeral.
