O Lord, It is a matter of great sorrow that my bread & butter depends on people’s illness. But it is also a matter of great fortuity that you have given me an opportunity to serve people & by that to ease their pain.
O God, You have put on a great responsibility on me. Now give me strength so that I can fulfill my responsibilities with all my sincerity.
O Lord, Give me that honesty that I should not consider my patient as an experimental animal or a media to earn money. My aim should be only the best treatment of patient and none else. I should never consider that either he is rich or poor, during his treatment.
O God, Give me mercy that I should listen all his complaints carefully and I should take care of complaints of this body as well as his mind. I should never forget that in addition to drugs & diagnosis the patient always needs few loving words of hope & consolation.
O Lord, Give me a big heart so that I can understand the worries of relatives of the patient and should always remember the financial problems of poor patient.
O God, This is a profession of mercy but there is very much slippery over here. So give me courage that I can maintain dignity of my holy profession.
O Lord, Give me steadiness that I can maintain balance between my responsibilities as a doctor when there is a time to take serious decision at critical moment, as a human and as true friend of the family.
O God, Give me faith in you that I an always remember that I am the only noble worker to humanity. The wave of stability always comes from you and during all this time, the greatest Doctor is you and only you. Amen.
