Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2
The Prayer Warriors Episode Two
After some time in the labour room, Doctor Raph came out again to meet Tony. He looked very worried and tired. He was sweating because of the situation. He called Tony aside and spoke to him in a low but serious tone.
“Mr Tony, I am begging you as a man, as a husband, as a human being. Your wife will not survive the next one hour if we do not do CS on her. I am telling you the truth. This is not something we should waste time about. Your wife’s life is hanging by a thread.”
Tony folded his arms and looked at the doctor. He shook his head slowly. He was not moved by the doctor’s words.
“Doctor, you lack faith. You are looking at this matter with your physical eyes, but I am looking at it with my spiritual eyes. My pastor told me that my wife will deliver normally. He said there will be no CS. I trust my pastor and I trust the prayer warriors who are here praying. You people will soon see what God will do.”
The doctor almost collapsed in frustration. He held his head with both hands. He could not believe what he was hearing. He spoke again with tears in his eyes.
“Tony, this is your wife’s life. This is not about me. This is not about who has faith or not. This is about saving her life. If you don’t sign this paper now, your wife and child will die in my hands. Please, I beg you. Let us do the CS.” But Tony just continued shaking his head.
Instead of answering the doctor, Tony went to meet his pastor again. The prayer warriors were still praying loudly outside the hospital. Tony whispered something into the pastor’s ear.
“Pastor, the doctor said my wife will not survive the next one hour if we don’t do CS. Should I allow them?” Tony said.
“My son, fear not. This doctor does not have spiritual eyes. God told me your wife will live. God told me she will deliver normally. There is no need for CS.” The pastor said.
The doctor was shocked. He spoke to the pastor angrily.
“You are a liar! You are a wicked man! How can you gamble with a woman’s life? You are not God. Stop deceiving this man! His wife is dying. His child is dying. And you are here pretending to be speaking for God. You are a wicked pastor. God will judge you.” The doctor shouted.
“Doctor, you will soon see the mighty hand of God. Your eyes are blind.” The pastor responded.
The doctor could not take it anymore. He walked away from them. He went back into the hospital. He entered the labour room and looked at Hannah lying weakly on the bed. She was no longer moving. Her eyes were closed. Her chest was rising and falling very slowly.
The doctor sat down and thought deeply. He knew he could not operate without permission from a legal representative. If he did that, he could lose his medical license forever if anything happens to Hannah. His career would be destroyed.
“God, what should I do?” he asked in pain. He looked around the room. Suddenly, his eyes landed on something that gave him an idea. He saw Hannah’s phone lying quietly on the hospital bed beside her weak body.
The doctor quickly picked up the phone. He pressed the power button. Luckily, it was not locked with any password. He opened the phone and started checking the contacts. He scrolled carefully, looking for someone who could help.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a number saved as “Mum.” He was very sure it was Hannah’s mother. He wasted no time. He dialed the number and placed the phone on his ear. It started ringing.
After the third ring, a woman’s voice answered.
“Hello? Hannah, is that you?” the voice asked. The doctor quickly introduced himself.
“Madam, this is not Hannah. I am Dr Raph, your daughter’s doctor. I am calling from the hospital. Please, listen carefully. Your daughter is in grave danger. She is in labour but she can no longer push. If we don’t do a CS immediately, she will die and the baby will also die. Please, we need your urgent help. We need you to come now and sign the papers. Her husband refused to sign it.”
Hannah’s mother screamed on the phone. She almost dropped it from her hand.
“Jesus Christ! My daughter will die? Doctor, please don’t let her die. I am on my way right now. I will be there in less than twenty minutes. Please, don’t let her die before I arrive. Please save her.”
The doctor was relieved.
“Please hurry, madam. There is no more time.” He said as ended the call. He looked again at Hannah lying weakly and prayed silently for her.
“God, keep her alive for just twenty more minutes.” He said.
Meanwhile, Hannah heard everything, just that she could not talk.
"God thank you. My mother is now coming. God help me to leave this hospital alive." Hannah said.
