Think Before You Judge
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. Ā He found the boyās father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.
On seeing him, the father yelled, āWhy did you take all this time to come? Donāt you know that my sonās life is in danger? Donāt you have any sense of responsibility?ā
The doctor smiled and said, āI am sorry, I wasnāt in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish youād calm down so that I can do my workā.
āCalm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for doctor than what will you do??ā said the father angrily. Ā The doctor smiled again and replied, āWe will do our best by Godās grace and you should also pray for your sonās healthy lifeā.
āGiving advises when weāre not concerned is so easyā Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, āThank goodness! your son is saved!ā And without waiting for the fatherās reply he carried on his way running by saying, āIf you have any questions, ask the nurseā.
āWhy is he so arrogant? He couldnāt wait some minutes so that I ask about my sonās stateā Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left. Ā The nurse answered, tears coming down her face, āHis son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your sonās surgery. Ā And now that he saved your sonās life, he left running to finish his sonās burial.ā
Moral: Never judge anyone because you never know how their life is and what theyāre going through.
