God always has the last word
Dr. Benjamin Zeier checks the parameters on the monitors. It is not possible to talk to the patient because a ventilator is pumping oxygen into his lungs in a monotonous rhythm. Whether the Quechua will survive remains uncertain. To the left, behind the window pane, lies an intensive care patient with suspected high grade tuberculosis.
If she wasn’t being ventilated, she would have died long ago. Modern medicine can do many things, but it cannot overcome death.
The two urological patients have understood this truth. The Quechua on the left comes from the federal state of Cusco. He is reading the Bible on his cell phone. He is looking down at the book of books, but in a figurative sense he is looking up to God. We employees at Diospi Suyana do the same. Our service to people is also a service to God.
Jesus Christ expressed it as follows. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me!”
