THE DOCTOR AND HIS PATIENTS
A Doctor is needed in
the village only as long as people become sick. The doctor will not be needed
if people stop falling ill. The medical profession lives on an inner paradox,
because a doctor’s livelihood depends on people catching diseases. A doctor treats
patients outwardly, but inwardly he hopes they get sick. And when there is an
epidemic, he thanks God for the business.
The more people fall ill, the more money he makes. Inwardly
he hopes, his patients doesn’t recover quickly. And so it takes time for
patients to be cured, especially rich ones. Poor patients get well faster because
doctor does not make much if poor remain ill for a long time. The profit is from
rich customers, so he goes slowly when curing the rich. Anyways the rich are
are always unwell, they are the answer to doctor’s prayers. His inner desire
influences his approach lest the rich patient gets cured too soon.
