THE GIFT OF GRATITUDE - 6

THE GIFT OF GRATITUDE - 6

By Dr.K.V.Chaubal

Faith, more than reason, brought Mrs Nigam to me. I had performed small, ten-minute operation of decompression of the nerve on her. She insisted that her husband be operated upon by me for spinal cord compression in the neck. It was a 10 hour do. Her faith was not misplaced but I was judged by my small deeds. The lady indeed was capable of making right decisions. She thwarted a pre-dawn robbery at home at pistol point by putting her finger in the nozzle of the pointing pistol and shouting for help. The Nigams visit me every year, on the anniversary of the operation.
