Healthy people don't need a doctor - sick people do. Mark 2:17 (nlt) This was the verse I pondered upon this morning.
At lunch, I had a chance to meet one of my colleagues in another department. It was a rare lunch meet up. Somehow or other, we talked about doctors, and the lack of professionalism in some. It's a growing trend it seems.Eventually, she ended off saying, the reason that her husband died is because of a doctor. The nonchalence that the doctor gave in diagnosis and explanation of what she will do in the operation resulted in them not having the faith to go on with the operation. The choice of not going through the operation, than to leave it to the hands of a doctor who doesn't seem to care.
It's not only this profession that is the case. Many professions now have people who are no longer passionate about what they do, and hold the values that is required in the job. It is just a job. One that brings in the money.
Values are diluting. Evident even in the supposedly occupation with the most stringent criteria in recruitment.
As I thought about it, I give thanks that the doctor I read about in the morning, is a doctor who is always passionate, a doctor who always sticks to his values.
