What is faith?

A deep realisation…

- Ramanarayanan S

A grief stricken, frail looking lady stood in front of a few junior doctors of a very famous cardiac hospital with her six-year-old child who was suffering from a serious problem in his heart.

The junior doctors who examined the child found that the child had multiple blocks in his heart and was in a very critical condition; almost on the verge of dying.

They said the only person capable enough to save the child was the senior-most heart surgeon in that hospital who was also known as the best surgeon in the country. This cardiac surgeon was known to have a magic touch with his patients. He in his career of over thirty years of experience, has cured and saved many from the clutches of death. People had to wait for months together even to get an appointment with him.

Since it was an extremely serious, critical and complicated case, the junior doctors somehow managed to fix an immediate appointment with the specialist who too was kind enough to oblige. The child was immediately admitted in the hospital and all the required tests were carried out. The senior doctor himself was baffled and shaken by the extremely bad and near to death health condition of the child. He declared that the child had only a few weeks or months to live.
