Be Polite - Don't judge anyone in a rush

"The doctor was called one evening for an urgent surgery.  He answered the call, changed his clothes, reached hospital in minutes & went directly to the surgery block.  He found the boy's father waiting, in the hall for the doctor.

On seeing him, the dad yelled: "Why did U 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 & 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 tiredly smiled again & replied: "I will say as in the Holy Bible - From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & pray for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"

"Giving advice is so easy" retorted the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor came out smiling & said to the father,  "Thank God, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running as he spoke saying "If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!"

"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait a bit so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears streaming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at 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.

" Never judge anyone..... because U never know how their life is & what they're going through !!!

Treat everyone with politeness – even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice… but because you are nice
