Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Encounter at the Hospital Part 1: The Meeting Dr. Miyad was half asleep when the telephone rang. She struggled between sleep's powerful domination and her duty to answer the phone. It rang insistently until she finally answered it, as she knew she must. It was after mid night. An urgent case on the hospital's seventh floor made her quickly put on her Islamic modest dress and soon she was hurrying towards the patient's room.

A nurse near the door told her that an elderly woman in the room was seriously ill. Dr. Miyad quickly entered and saw a young woman, modestly dressed, standing next to the old woman's bed. The young woman said anxiously, "Oh doctor, this is my grandmother. She was complaining of severe pain and she's unconscious." The doctor carefully examined the elderly woman, who began to moan, and the young woman paced the nearby corridor.

Her grandmother had had a serious heart attack and needed to be hospitalized for a number of days. After giving the patient the needed medicine, Dr. Miyad approached the young woman, whose eyes were filled with tears. The doctor felt that she had to comfort her and give her hope. She smiled, saying, " I'm sure she will soon be well I have done all that is necessary." "I am very grateful, doctor." "Don't thank me.

It's my duty to help all my patients." She noticed that the woman's face was pale, so she took her hand, which was cold to the touch, and told her kindly, “You are tired. Why don't you sleep for a while?" "Yes, I am tired, but I can't leave my grandmother alone." "Don't you have a sister or anyone else to help you?" "No," the young woman replied sadly.

"She is not only my grandmother, but is a mother to me as well." The doctor felt sorry for her and comforted her, saying, ' 'I 'll look after her for you so that you can rest." "Oh no, you need rest. You work so hard." "I 'm used to it, and I don't feel tired. I 've slept for a few hours and that is enough for me. Now it is your turn to rest, but first I'll get a book to read. I'll be right back." The young woman thought the doctor was a wonderful woman and felt she could depend on her. Dr.

Miyad soon returned with a book in her hand and said, “Now you can sleep, I 'II sit here and read. By the way, I'm Dr.Miyad." "I'm Warqa, I'm pleased to meet you.” Warqa stretched out on the sofa and soon fell asleep. When she awoke she found that she had slept for over an hour.
