A sanitation worker contacted Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) regarding admission of one of his relatives for operation in AIIMS, New Delhi.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of back-log of patients waiting for admission at that time. Dr. Dev expressed his inability to accommodate his relative for admission and suggested that he may try after some time. As the relative wanted to get operated early they decided to go to some other government hospital in Delhi for treatment.
Dr. Dev forgot about this incidence. A few days later he was walking from his surgical ward towards the surgical OPD. While passing the corridor in front of the AB7 Ward, he heard of enthusiastic greeting ‘Good Morning Sir’. He looked to see the same sanitation worker he was not able to help, greeting him with a warm smile on his face. Dr. Dev was amazed. Here was a person who I had not helped and instead of holding a grudge against me, he was greeting me as I was the greatest person alive to him. Embarrassed, Dr. Dev returned his greeting and continued on his way.
This became a routine occurrence whenever Dr. Dev passed that way. Each time Dr. Dev felt more and more embarrassed that he had not helped such a friendly and respectful person. In time, Dr. Dev started to avoid going that way in the morning.
That sanitation worker working in apparently one of the smallest post in hospital proved to be a person of magnanimous heart who taught Dr. Dev an important lesson of not holding grudges against someone who has not been able to help you in past and still treat them with love and respect.
