In Awe

I got this in an email from someone..

performed 11 angiograms today.
5 successful angioplasties, 4 complex
4 more to end under the surgeon's knife, one urgent this saturday, insyaallah.
1 normal
1 mildly diseased arteries.

bread and butter stuff.

but what interesting was,
2 policeman as patients. (both had stents inserted, of course)
one 50+ year old, ex police, simple but mindful
"doktor, i've seen many doctors before, but they cant make me stop smoking. but you could, with two words: rokok and yahudi. i managed to stop immediately"

. all praise to god.

the other one, 42 year old, heart attack last june. bodoh sombong, typical (beep) constable:
cant stop smoking because he'll gain weight (obese fellow, never exercise)
wanted to go home if he has to wait too long (he feels that he's the sultan) ...

I am always left amazed whenever he writes something. There is something to be learnt. Something to be in awe of. Something that would touch the heart. Something to be envy about.

Something.. almost surreal in a way about him. That makes me feel so small and almost like insignificant at times..
