With Kindred Affection

Culture 2024.1.10.


It was 3 a.m. one October day last year.

An aged man living in the township of Pukchong County felt out of sorts and called a doctor by phone.

A few minutes later, Kim Myong Sil, a doctor of the township polyclinic of Pukchong County entered the house of the old man.

Mopping her brows, she said “Excuse me for being late.”

The old man was moved to tears at the moment.

Actually, he felt so sorry for his sick call at dawn and so grateful for the doctor who rushed to him in such a short time, that he helter-skelter denied her apology.

Soon after, the doctor gave him necessary medical treatment.

Although he got better, the doctor frequently visited the old man to take care of him.

It seemed like a filial affection of a daughter who worries about her parent’s health.

Such kind medical workers defend the socialist healthcare system.
