Dr. Katherine Chawala (Fictional Name) was a senior resident in the department of anesthesia in AIIMS, New Delhi. Her mother-in-law was in need of surgery. She showed to the consultant of the unit who referred her to the admission in-charge Senior Resident (SR) for a tentative date for admission before the operation.
Dr. Katherine contacted the admission in-charge SR, Dr. Dev (Fictional Name). There was a long waiting list for admission, running into months, but as Dr. Katherine was a fellow colleague, Dr. Dev adjusted the dates and admitted her mother-in-law within a week. She got operated and got discharged after an operation well done.
After her mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital, Dr. Katherine joined back to her duties as Senior Resident Anaesthesia. She was posted to the same Operation Theatre as Dr. Dev’s unit. Dr. Dev and the junior residents who had taken such a good care of her mother-in-law were expecting some warm response and thanks from her. But to their surprise, she paid as much attention to them in the operation theatre as one pays to a waiter at a party.
For a few days Dr. Dev and the other junior residents were amazed by her response, but then they reconciled to the fact that some people just forget any obligations done to them.
Tip: Don’t do a good deed in the world expecting any thanks in return even from your colleagues and fellow doctors. Just help people for the sake of helping people.
