Doing what is right is a mammoth of challenge. It's easier said than done. I understand why some people cannot stand up for justice.The common denominator emanates from fear. I don't believe in hearsay about one of our physicians. It's my pledge to "help the physician in their work". My co-workers said that he's addicted to a known narcotic. I don't have my concrete proof to believe it. But nevertheless, I'm careful not to feed what his addiction-to-what. One late night, as we are indulging ourselves to the 2 boxes of pizza, he came asking to give his patient a shot of pain reliever. He insisted after I explained that the patient already received a dose of analgesic. Knowing what to do and the precautions to take, I prepared the medicine in an unconventional way but still observing patient's rights. I went to the room, my mind in focus swearing to myself that I have to do what is right. My obligation to my patient, being their trusted advocate is my stirring motivation. "Let me do the giving of the injection" he said in plain manner. "I will give the medicine Doctor" I said not being oblivious of my own fear. I grabbed my patient's deltoid muscle and safely given the medicine, making sure that it was indeed the medicine I prepared and was not exchanged for a "fake" one. I think that the angels are hollering with their flags wavering in the air saying "You did it Kim!".."You absolutely did it!"
Sitting back on the chair and holding the half-bitten slice of pizza I was not able to finish earlier, I felt proud of myself. It's like I was able to hit the buzzing mosquito who's about to bite his victim with my index finger turned into an imaginary gun and then blowing its smoky end right after I successfully hit the target bulls-eye (what a fictitious analogy on this wee hours,haha) They say that it takes good men to do nothing for the evil to triumph. This is so true. I know it's really hard to stand up for what is good, to do what's right and to remain to be good especially if you are enslave by fear. But keep on praying for help that at all times we will have the strength to turn down the chance of being an accessory for the evil to win.
I think God just winked. And it's my wish to make Him wink more often=)
