A SURGEON’S PRAYER

A SURGEON’S PRAYER

©️ Dr. Aparna Govil Bhasker

Dear people, every time I hold a knife in my hand to begin a surgery, I close my eyes and pray….

I pray that I am kind to you, who, lays in front of me, and I am as gentle as I can be,

I pray that my hands dont tremble as they sew, and I cause no pain & suffering to thee,

I pray that I always do right by ye, and dont waver in taking decisions taken by me,

I pray that I use my skills for your service and clarity doesn’t evade me,

I pray that my judgement may never be blurred and I may be blessed to win health from disease,

I pray that I have no fear and I can bring the light of life back from the darkness of death and that I do no harm in the process,

And at the end of it all, I pray that may God almighty give me strength to cope up, if things were not to go our way today.
