[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know any?

I was talking to my mom on the phone and just found out one of my friends from HS is now a very famous doctor in the town he grew up who is treating a lot of people for free. One of the patients is his dad, who left his mom when he was just 3yo. She was 7mos pregnant.

He was always such a brilliant student. His mom was our English teacher, they were our neighbors. His dream was to go to Med school but obviously they could not afford then. I went away for college and never heard about them again until now.

BTW, his dad doesn't know the doc is his very own son.

Do you have any such stories to share?[/quote]

I'm sorry, but this just sounds ridiculous.  Why in the world doesn't the father know that his doctor is his very own son?  That makes no sense.

In a thread on noble, selfless people, I'm the bitch saying this reads like one of those stupid urban legend emails that your great uncle forwards now that he's learned to use email at age 80.

OK, maybe if the mom then remarried, and the son was adopted by step father, there'd be different names, but still.  If this is in the town where he grew up, come on, people would tell the dad.  I'm from a small town, and people know these things.  And then the sentence "his dream was to go to Med school but obviously they could not afford then."  What does that even mean?  And obviously if he IS a Doctor, then he DID go to medical school.  So how did he afford it?

This is just so riddled with logical inconsistencies.  I think that is why no one is posting.  And also, I think people are people.  SOme people are more selfless than others, but if you are selfless, you tend to not talk about it so much,  It's just what you do.  And you don't view yourself as especially noble or selfless.  So, not so many posts.  [/quote]
