A man was complaining about my daughter’s crying, and then the doctor came out and said something that left me speechless.
I was sitting in the waiting room, gently rocking my three-week-old daughter. For the past few nights, I hadn’t slept a wink; she had a fever, and hearing her constant crying was breaking my heart. But despite my efforts, I couldn’t calm her down.
A man was sitting nearby, wearing an expensive suit and a shiny luxury watch on his wrist. I could tell he was getting irritated with every cry from my daughter.
He turned to the nurse, visibly annoyed, and said coldly, “Can we speed this up? My time is worth more than this!” Then, turning toward me, he added, “Can someone shut that kid up? I can’t stand the screaming.”
A heavy silence settled in the waiting room. All eyes turned to me, and I felt almost invisible in my own suffering, with my little one continuing to cry.
Whispers started spreading through the room. Then, the doctor came out and approached us. He greeted the man politely before turning to me. What he said next left me speechless.
The rest of my story is in the first comment below .
“Baby with a fever?” he asked.
I answered, a bit anxious, “Yes, she’s three weeks old.”
The man interrupted abruptly, shouting, “And I have chest pains, this could be a heart attack!”
The doctor stared at him coldly. “You just pulled a muscle playing golf. This little one might not survive until tonight, so she comes first.”
A heavy silence followed, then the room erupted in applause.
As I walked out again with my daughter, the man didn’t look at me once.
