The battle raged on, and a general was gravely injured and rushed to the field hospital for treatment. The hospital had only one male doctor and one female nurse available. The doctor, with shaky hands, was performing surgery on the wounded general when suddenly the nurse pulled out a knife and attacked him.
The doctor fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, and looked at the nurse in shock. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, doctor, but I'm undercover, and I can't let you save the general's life!"
The doctor's breathing became shallow as he asked, "Why did you stab me instead of the general? That would have accomplished your mission."
The nurse replied, "I know, but you've been kind to me, and I couldn't bring myself to do it to the general. I had to find a way to stop you from saving him."
The doctor's eyes grew dim as he whispered, "You may have killed me, but you haven't accomplished anything. You've betrayed the very essence of your duty as a nurse. Saving lives is what we do, no matter who they are."
The moral of the story is that loyalty to a cause should never come at the cost of our humanity and our professional code of ethics. The duty to save lives should always come first, regardless of our personal beliefs or agendas.
