In a rush, a doctor hurried to the hospital for an urgent surgery after receiving a call. Quickly changing into surgical attire, he headed straight to the surgery block. In the hallway, he encountered the worried father of the patient.
The father, in distress, angrily questioned the doctor’s timing, emphasizing the urgency of his son’s situation. The doctor calmly explained his situation and requested the father’s cooperation.
Frustrated, the father challenged the doctor, asking if he would remain calm if the roles were reversed. The doctor, still composed, assured the father that they would do their best and urged him to pray for his son’s well-being. The father, feeling distant, muttered about the ease of giving advice when not personally involved.
After hours of surgery, the doctor emerged with a joyful announcement that the son had been saved. Without waiting for a response, he hurriedly advised the father to inquire with the nurse for any questions.
Feeling perturbed by the doctor’s apparent arrogance, the father approached the nurse. To his surprise, she tearfully revealed that the doctor had just buried his own son, who had died in a road accident the day before. The doctor, despite his personal grief, had rushed to save the father’s son and immediately returned to finish his own son’s burial.
The moral of the story is a reminder never to judge others hastily, as we may not fully understand the challenges they are facing in their lives.
