inner strength

Over the time I have always declined Fatima's invitations to accompany her to her doctor's appointments, not because I didn't want to support her, but because I've never been fond of hospital environments. However, the tables turned today when I asked Fatima to take me to see her doctor. I've been experiencing sharp stomach pains for a couple of days and couldn't take it anymore.

Upon arrival, I was surprised by the hospital's setup and the amazing environment. I remarked on this to Fatima, then she answered that I would be even more impressed by the doctor in charge. As we entered the hospital, you needed to see the crowd of people waiting to see the doctor. We registered and waited for our turn.

After a few hours, we finally met with the doctor. Her condition was pitiful, even to the extent that I had to listened intently as she spoke, observing the struggles she faced as she prescribed medication for me. As we left the office, Fatima asked how the appointment went. I expressed my surprise, and upon further inquiry, I discovered that the doctor had faced numerous health challenges, including high blood pressure, stroke, and skin cancer, which has left her with some physical deformities.

The doctor's resilience and dedication to her profession were inspiring. Despite her physical deformities, she remained committed to practicing medicine. I left with a newfound appreciation for this strong and remarkable woman.
