A good and kind doctor

There is a doctor living in a small town, he is very well known, people around the town talked about him, they are saying the doctor is a good doctor and a kind one. The christian one day visited him, and personally come to understand that, this doctor is really as kind as people said about him.

One day, this poor christian went to his clinic. The poor christian was asked by a friend, to sent 2 old man and wife to see that doctor. The christian waited with the old couples in the clinic. The old couples insisted the christian to see the doctor, since the christian was not feeling well at that moment.

The christian whispered to the old couples, that we had only a 10 bucks note in his wallet, it was not enough to pay the doctor. But the old couples told the christian, ".. need not worry about the money, the doctor is kind, tell him that you are poor." the christian was afraid that he will be mistreated. The old couple explained to the poor christian. People knew the doctor's father well, he was a very poor man, working hard to earn money, rising his family and one of his son became a doctor, the son was sent to oversea to study medicine, at last the son becomes a good doctor, the father knew that is not enough, before he passed away, he called his son the good doctor to his sick bed, and advice him, "You must help the poor, remember once we were also poor like them, when you were still very young, we were very very poor. Remember to help the poor and sick in your clinic" Later, the father passed away. The son, as a good doctor, remembered his father's word well, he became a kind doctor. He had been good and kind to the poor and sick for so many years in the town. This is a true story, the good and kind doctor is still living in the mountainous town, people still talk about him until today.

So after sometime of waiting, it was the christian's turn to see the doctor, the christian went into the doctor room, the doctor was a middle aged man, and he asked the christian, what is wrong with him, and the christian told him, he was not well for few days, and he told the doctor how he felt, and the doctor type into his computer, and without any hesitation and delay, the christian told the doctor, he is poor and he had only 10 bucks in his wallet, the doctor listen carefully, silently and noded a little bit, and still typing and typing. And prescribed the suitable medicine for the christian, and doctor gently, let the christian went out. The christian went out from the room, and later he was asked by the doctor's nurse, to pay a small amount of money to take his medicine. The doctor had done a good thing to a total stranger!

The christian went home with the old couples, comforted, and now he knew there is still, and believe there are some good and kind doctor on this earth, and the story about this kind and good doctor is true. The old couple told the christian nothing but the truth. The old couples need not to swear or take an oath in telling his truth, the doctor need not to swear and take an oath to say he is good, but by his kindness and goodness, people believe in him, and he had faithfully keeping his father's words, "Help the poor and sick, remember how poor we were."

A good doctor is not enough? The father asked his son to be a kind doctor! Believe it or not?
