In my line of work, it’s easy to become heartless..

Just yesterday i watched a mother cried over her son’s dead body who died because of a traffic accident. And the thought that crossed my mind

“Well, that’s what you get for riding motorcycle carelessly and didn’t bother to wear helmet.”

But don’t judge me just yet.. i did try to save that man’s life, but he is beyond saving. The damage in his brain was quite severe and there was no way he could survive even for another hour.

Did i feel sorry for the man ? “No.. he deserves it”

Did i feel sorry for the mother ? “No..Not at all”

Then again, why should i feel sorry for them ? (Cruel ?? a bit i guess)

That kind of scene is my daily consumption, ever since i was in med school until now..

I never count how many people were healed under my care, but i do count those who didn’t make it.. and that man was the 48th.

And no, i don’t feel sorry at all…
