The human race we would like to believe is superior to others. However you are taught humility when other species can over power you. Simply you observe as you are defeated.
You do watch National Geographic Channel,don't you where the animal caught by the cheetah or the lion simply lies helpless when eaten alive.
It is not uncommon in human illness when the doctors feel as helpless if not more when the patient succumbs to some infective illness.
i was speaking to a Physician colleague of mine other day, when he commented Dengue to be one such illness, when he knows that the patient is not going to make it.
We may think ourselves to be the hunters and not the hunted but hey, at some stage we may be the hunted!
"Mortals we are" is something we get to understand when faced with it, like someone who we know is not making it or did not. This may happen once in few years!
However the doctors who treat patients face this reality more often than a common man. Sometimes he or she may have dealt with few deaths even in one day!
It does take a toll on the doctor, even though he may look bold enough to take it.
So next time you meet your doctor, be nice to him as much as he is to you, since he may have taken too much toll already from the mortals he had to deal with!
Warm regards and sorry for the long time for the blog
