I heard something very encouraging yesterday. This is about my friend who stays in another city. He is a doctor and he has a group of 9 childhood friends, all doctors. One of their friends ( also a doctor ) was struck with a viral paralytic attack late night. All his friends rushed him to hospital, where he slipped into a coma.
Now, the patient’s wife was pregnant and had pregnancy related sickness. His parents are old. Who is to take care of him.
All the doctors made changes to their schedules so that atleast 3 of the doctors would be with him 24 hours. This continued for a week. The patient’s state remained the same. Still this arrangement stood. Since these were doctors, they made arrangements to consult in the hospital. They started calling their patients there. Now it is three months since their friend fell ill. During this period, they have taken this patient to a specialized hospital for this condition in another city. They have rented an apartment in that city and settled his parents in that apartment, so that they can take care of their son. All the friends take turns to make frequent visits to their friend and support his parents. They are in touch with his doctors and see what can be done to improve their friend’s condition. Since the treatment is expensive and the insurance will be insufficient, they are also contributing financially
What a beautiful friendship!
I am sure many of you can give me examples of friendships that stand the test of unfavourable circumstances. In today’s world also there does exist such genuine friendships.
Please share your positive experiences with friends with us. We would all like to be encouraged.
