ಉತ್ತರ:- ವೈದ್ಯರ ಮಗ ಹಿಂದಿನ ದಿನವಷ್ಟೇ ನಡೆದ ಆಕ್ಸಿಡೆಂಟ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸತ್ತು ಹೋಗಿದ್ದ. ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ರೋಗಿಯ ಆಪರೇಷನ್ ಮಾಡಿ ಜೀವ ಉಳಿಸಲು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಫೋನ್ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ಅವರ  ಮಗನ ಅಂತ್ಯಕ್ರಿಯೆಯ  ದುಃಖದ  ಮಡುವಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರು.  ಆದರೂ ತನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ದುಃಖವನ್ನು ಮರೆತು ಅವರು ತನ್ನ ಮಗನ ಅಂತ್ಯಕ್ರಿಯೆಯನ್ನು ಅರ್ಧಕ್ಕೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಬಂದಿದ್ದರು. ಆಪರೇಷನ್ ಮಾಡಿ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ರೋಗಿಯ ಜೀವ ಉಳಿಸಿದರು. ವೈದ್ಯರ ಈ ಗುಣ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಆದರ್ಶಪ್ರಾಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಮಾದರಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ  ಸಮಾಧಾನದಿಂದಿರುವುದು  ವೈದ್ಯರ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಗುಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ರೋಗಿಯ ತಂದೆಯು ಅಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಕೋಪದಿಂದ ಬೈಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಹಾಗೂ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಮಗನ ಸಾವಿನ ದುಃಖ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಂತ್ಯಕ್ರಿಯೆಯ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರೂ ಅವರು ಕೋಪಗೊಳ್ಳದೆ ರೋಗಿಯ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಸಮಾಧಾನದಿಂದ ಉತ್ತರಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಹಾಗೂ ತಡವಾದುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆಯನ್ನು ಕೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ರೀತಿಯ ಸಮಾಧಾನದ ವರ್ತನೆಯು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಂದ ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ವೈದ್ಯರ ಇಂತಹ ಗುಣಗಳು ನಮಗೆ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿಗೆಯಾಗುತ್ತವೆ.
