NO DOUBT

Working in Ward 20, Paediatric Respiratory Ward in Hospital Sibu on one of the day is just another routine of the day. Though in the routine, God will always care and surprise me. As usual awaiting specialist round after morning review, I will be trying to guess which patient will be fit enough to be discharged by the specialist. From the head count, that day I could still count with my finger. I am glad if the specialist can discharge more patients on that day and which also mean I got to write more discharge summaries. I don’t really mind because as long as the patient can go back home ,the family need not have to travel to and fro so far to come to hospital to visit the patient. Really not an easy task  for them.

As the specialist walked into the ward, took a fast glance of which patient can be active enough to be discharged, he told me and one of the Medical officer that his job is to discharge patient from the ward. And true enough that day he discharged half of the ward’s patient. Surely I was glad, but the amount of discharge summaries that I need to finish is immense. I was telling God “Father, there is so much discharge summaries I need to handle , for sure I would not be able to go for lunch until I finish them all by myself. How nice if there is another houseofficer or medical officer to help me out to write.” But I knew I can only dream of it because in that ward, only one house officer handles the entire ward and the MO is busy most of the time. Anyway, what I did know is I got to finish up the summaries as fast as I can and if God wants to help me, then I will be very very glad.

While I was struggling to complete the 2^nd summaries, suddenly a HO came into the ward wanting to use the computer there. She was planning to send a document to one of the specialists but she realized she had misunderstood after I told her that she does not need to do so. Then, she told me she is free to help to write the summaries. Before I can say anything, she sat down and started writing. At that moment of truth, I was so stunned and very surprised cause at that moment I knew God is answering my prayer in front of my eyes. I praised and gave all thanks and glory to Jesus. God will always help us in time of need.

After a while, one of the medical officer came in, sat down and started writing the summaries too , then followed by another MO , also did the same thing. I was speechless because it had never been a time where 4 people write discharge summaries in ward 20 before. Very obvious, God is running extra mile for me.   Not long after the struggle, all the discharge summaries were completed and we all headed for lunch.

I am not very sure whether Christian all there acknowledge the very real and natures of God, His Love and Faithfulness are unending. I do believe God is working hard in the lives of Christian but do we realize His existence of help and presence. We tend to appraise our own works and accomplishments than to understand the Grace of God. So, be sensitive to the presence of God as it, no doubt, will strengthen our faith and love for God.

Blessed to be a blessing.


Love,Jonathan
