The Enemyposted 24 Jun 2012, 07:16"There are moments in life when we have to make hard choices between our roles as private individuals and as citizens with a sense of nationality loyalty."
We are private individual. However at the same time we are also the citizens of our country. It is said that individual should sacrifice for his country because country is above everything. But time comes when it become hard to decide which option one should choose. For example, a Doctor XXX (supposed) is torn between human compassion on one hand and loyalty to the country on the other. He is a reputed doctor. He has been taught that it is duty of a doctor to save the life of a dying person. He picks up an enemy soldier who is really badly wounded though he knows the consequences. His servants leave his household. He treats the American soldier. Finally, the General (supposed) come to know about it. he offers Doctor XXX to get rid if the soldier by getting him murdered during the night. Doctor XXX is torn between his duty as a doctor and as an ordinary citizen of the country. He remains silent. He reluctantly helps the enemy soldier to escape finally. However, he had given a chance to the General to murder to the General to murder him. Doctor XXX's condition is understandable. Any good citizen and a good human being will act like him in such a circumstance. After Reading: It is the time of the World War. An American prisoner of war is washed ashore in a dying state and thrown into the doorstep of a Japanese doctor. Should he save him as a doctor or hand him over to the Army as a patriot? PS this blog is inspired by a textbook story and RyPeR1569 's story blogs. PS Doctor XXX and the General are imaginary characters and not subjected to a individual or group of individual. |

Nationalism on the other hand can be a very dangerous sentiment and often leads to war.

And....Doctor XXX sounds like a name for a porn doctor...
Your Doctor triple x, besides what is proclaimed in the Geneva Convention, took, as every physician, the Hippocratic Oath, also established in the convention and prior to that. Any other behavier is consider murder of a human been to another.

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not", nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given to me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, be respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
