A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the called as soon as possible, he changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery room. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.

On seeing him, the father yelled : " Why did you take so long 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 and said : "I'm sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and came as fast as I could after received the called...and now I wish you to calm down, so I can do my work."
"Calm down?! You ask me to calm down?! What if your son in that room right now? if your son is dying right now? What would you do?! said the father angrily.
The doctor smiled again and replied : " I will tell you what Job said in the Holy Book 'From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God'. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will dou our best by God's grace."
"Giving advises when we're not concerned is so easy," murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours, then the doctor went out look happy, "Thank God, your son is saved." and without waiting for the father's reply, he carried his way running. "If you have any question, you can ask the nurse."
"Why is he so arrogant? Can't he wait some minutes, so that I can ask about my son's condition," commented the father after he met the nurse.
The nurse answered with tears coming down : "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now, he left running to finish his son's burial."
Moral of the story : Never think bad about people you barely know. because you never know how their life is, and what they're going through...
