Amid these trying times, it is indeed true that kindness and compassion are one of the greatest thing we can gift towards each other. With a lot of sad and horrible things happening in the world, it only takes a single smile and a genuine heart to lift a belittled and hopeless soul.
A medical front liner shared her story on her Facebook account recently and went viral. It was a story about her encounter with her co frontliner, a policeman while she was on her way home.
Dra. Imelda Macayra Ibarreta told her friends and followers, that she was deeply moved by the policeman's story.
"I was on my way home about 10 pm few nights ago when my car was flagged down at a check point manned by men in uniform, a young officer went to my side:
Officer: Magandang gabi po, saan ang punta natin ma’am?
Me: Pauwi na sir.
Officer: Saan po nanggaling at mukhang ginabi tayo?
Me: Hospital."
After finding out she was from a hospital, the police asked where specifically and when Dra. answered, he excitedly shared about his wife who is confined there to give birth.
The doctor then verified about his wife's name and it was not too long until the man recognized that she was actually his wife's doctor.
And when asked about why he was not on leave, the guy simple said that he run out paid leave already and it will be too risky for their budget to have unpaid absences.
Dra. Ibarreta immediately offered help, she wanted this guy to visit his family even for once and said that his wife is already cleared on her hospital bills.
And when he attempted to decline, the healthworker replied, "Bakit? Ako nga hindi nahiya sa iyo, nagsilbi ka sa bayan."
After that, the police called his companion to introduce the doctor and they cheered for their co-worker, even singing cheerfully when Dra. gave them a pack of coffee to help them stay awake for the night.
The doctor then continued that she was enthralled and that blissful encounter will always be memorable for her.
