Activity 1 Reading: A Love for Fellowmen and Family

A doctor entered the hospital in a hurry after being called for immediate operation. He
answered the phone call ASAP and go directly to the operating room.

He met the boy’s father waiting for him. On seeing him, the father says: “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 was just calm and said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as
fast as I can after receiving the call… And now, I hope you’d calm down so that I can do
my work.” “Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now, can you make it
calm down? If your son dies now what will you do?” said the father angrily.
The doctor was just calm and smile at him saying: “… Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go
and pray for your son and by God’s grace we will do our best”.

Then the father murmured “Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy”.

Some hours after, the doctor went out from the surgery room and happily announce that
“Your son is safe!”. Without waiting for the father’s response, he carried on his way
while saying “If you have questions, ask the nurses”.

And without waiting for the father’s response, he carried on his way running. “You can
ask the nurse if you have question

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minute so that I can ask about my son’s
state,” commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse said, with tears: “Yesterday, his son died in a road accident, when we called
him he for your son’s condition he was at the funeral”.

Now that your son’s life is saved, he left running to finish his son’s funeral.
