Here in my first blog, a heart touching experience of a world famous plastic surgeon is presented. A doctor is also a human. This story is a perfect example of a doctor's dilemma. The plastic surgeon was practising in Europe at that time. The war atmosphere made it quite difficult for the doctors to practice.
One fine morning, a young girl in her early twenties came to him as a patient. For him she was one of his patients. But she had come to him with a great hope.
"Doctor, please help me. I'm getting married next month. But I'm not a virgin. It is compulsory for a would be bride to be a virgin. It is also checked by the groom's family before marriage. I want to get a hymenoplasty done. You are my last hope in this regard. If you say no, my marriage will break! Please help me", the startled girl requested the doctor.
The doctor was in a fix. Being the world famous plastic surgeon, he had his own set of ethics. He told the girl, "But this is against my ethics. It is like betraying your would be husband and in laws. Sorry but I can't help you!".
The girl was very intelligent. "But doctor, it is mandatory to ask the history to the patient. You didn't ask me my history before saying no to me." she exclaimed!
"You're very brave and intelligent. I accept my mistake. So how did you lose your virginity? Please tell me." said the embarassed doctor.
"My luck was not in my favour doctor! A soldier from other country raped me during the war time!" She broke into tears!
The doctor unfortunately belonged to the winning group of countries! What was the fault of the girl? Nothing! So the doctor had to stand for her! The soldier from his own country had done this crime to this innocent girl. Was it her fault that, her country belonged to the group of losing countries ? Absolutely not! The doctor operated her for hymenoplasty the next day!
Don't you think, he did the correct thing! Humanity came much before for him than his ethics!
