Heart of a Good Samaritan

February 14th, 2008

One morning when I’m busy doing my work at the office, my friend Mel came to me in hurry. She told me that on her way to our office she had sat beside a mother carrying her ill daughter. Out of curiosity, she asked what happened to the child and the mother told her that her baby had fallen from a six-steps-stairs two years ago and until now she had no idea of the disease her daughter had because they were not able to bring the child to a doctor.

So Mel decided to brought along with her to the hospital, were we worked, the mother and child. She asked for my help to contact my friend who is a resident pediatrician in our institution to examine her patient. I immediately called my friend and luckily she was not that busy. She told us to brought the child to her clinic. After some series tests and examinations she was able to determine the child’s disease. The pediatrician told us that there’s nothing to worry about. The child needs to undergo physical therapy to help her stand fully on her own and regularly takes her vitamins to regain her strength.

The mother was so thankful and told us that not all people had a heart of good Samaritan like us.
