The MLA's Hernia

Once an MLA (Member of State Legislative Assembly) came to Prof. (Dr.) Tarun Kumar Chaturji, (Fictional Name) in AIIMS, New Delhi, with the complaint of Right inguinal hernia.

Dr. Tarun Kumar Chaturji examined the MLA and advised him to undergo operation. When the MLA asked Dr. Chaturji when he will operate on him, Dr. Chaturji, refused to personally operate on him. 

He said, “I do not operate on such minor cases as an inguinal hernia. You can consult the Assistant Professor working in my unit if you want to get it operated in AIIMS.”

The greatness is some person is not determined by what operation or projects he tackles but also by what he does not do and allots to his juniors. They are the lion among us, as there is an old Indian saying, ‘A lion will die of hunger but will not eat grass.’
