A Man with God's Hands!

Part I

 

I am hooked onto History Channel, now a days…esp “Biography”. I think I have got addicted to it. I marked the beginning with Adolf Hitler, which was just an accident. Then came “Bennito Mussolini”, another accident. After that I got hooked to it. I saw “Mikhail Gorbachev” and “Nancy Reagan”. Now mind you, I am craving for “biographies”. I really should have taken History for graduation.

Now a days they have this special “episode week” on prophecies, religious prophesies. So, this time, they were analyzing “the Revelation” part, in Bible, and analyzing each and every prophecy, mentioned in it with the rise and fall of Saddam Hussain(???), Anti Christ, and the Judgement Day. And mind you, hearing the narration and the analysis by the so-called “researchers” and “scholars”, have made me think about when the world is going to end and what am I supposed to finish, before that…poor me!

 

Part II

 

This is also the result of Discovery Channel. Actually, now a days, I watch only Nat Geo, History, Animal Planet and Discovery apart from cartoon network and pogo. Yea, I know my brain level oscillates from one extreme to another. Gosh my IQ can be anywhere b/w 5-32 !!!

 

There was this program on doctors in which they showed an interview with this Pediatric Plastic Surgeon.  Actually they showed a day in his clinic, with actual videos of his operations. When I first heard about his job, “Pediatric Plastic Surgeon”----I was thinking “O my god! They wont leave, even the kids now a days, do they????”. My first impression was that it was meant to make some starlet kids look perfect!!!

 

I was totally totally mistaken, when I saw this doc’s patients. They were babies born with very bad deformities in face. Some kids with no nose, some with nose and lips joined together, some with cleft lip, some with no palate at all…etc. I was stunned to see such terrible deformities in babies even under 6 months old. And this doc, he chose his patients from mostly African/Asian continents, where ordinary ppl are not aware, that these birth defects can be cured. Instead these babies are allowed to live with this , all their life.

 

There was this African baby girl, with nose and mouth joined into one big opening. After the operation, and of course after healing, do you know what her father said “Now, she is worth, a lot more cows!!!!!!”. It took me a sharp pang and 2 seconds to realize the deep meaning of that’s fathers words! She , who is just 1 yr old, is completely unaware of her transformation or her fathers, comments!

The documentary ended with that doctor’s comments:

 

"Beauty is skin deep,
Ugly is to the bone.
Beauty fades away,
But ugly hangs on."

 

In normal ways, I would never have supported his words. But after seeing what he did to her, and how her life got transformed, or how she was saved from life long humility, I would say, “God works thru his hands”. His mission is one of the best in the world, cos he choose his patients from the underprivileged and are from the most remote parts of the world. Some day I would really like to kiss those hands of him, I see them as God’s!
