Abstract
How often are you faced with a situation where your patient equates you with God while thanking you. In India this situation is not rare. It is an embarrassing situation for most, irritating for some due to the over exaggerated display of emotions but always it is a humbling experience. We thank God for giving us the opportunity to do His work and take credit.
