Paraphrase of Kipling's Poem by Prof. Rjasuriya
I am attaching an edited version of the Prof. Rajasuriya’s paraphrase of Kipling’s Poem “IF” in memory of my colleagues in Medical College, many of whom became and remain extremists to this day, because of what they had to undergo while students.

IF you can keep in mind that you are dealing with human lives and not with cases, pray.
IF you can treat them without discrimination, whether they are labelled pauper or to pay
IF you can consider every being as equal, be they Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim or Burgher and treat all your STUDENTS as you would treat all patients without discrimination of Caste, Colour, Creed or Race
IF you can, rush with equal alacrity, to see a patient who needs attention STAT. IF it is no matter that there is no ‘buckshee’ in it, yet, if offered, you can refuse it flat.
IF you can, by a smile, cheer up the ailing, or by a touch, relieve a sufferer’s pain. IF you can, by a word, console the dying, who will never taste this earth’s tortures again.
IF you can, force your heart, nerve and sinew, to work overtime for those who need you still. IF all that counts is just the joy of serving, it matters not what happens to the bill.
IF you can wait, and not be tired of waiting, for the fame that one day perhaps you will earn, cheap notoriety the while disdaining, nor rush to print, because there is much more to learn.
IF you can, leave the trick of administering, to those who have made it a crooked art, knowing it is but a quack’s one accomplishment, of honest men, it never forms a part.
IF you can talk to touts and keep your virtue, or treat big bugs and not lose the poor’s touch. IF neither wealth nor fame can yet corrupt you, IF all beings count with you, but none too much,
IF you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds of work well done. YOU WILL THEN HAVE REACHED A NOBLE PROFESSIONAL’S SUMMIT AND WHAT IS MORE,
YOU WILL DIE CONTENT, MY SON.

Paul Albert Anka, OC (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian singer,
songwriter, and actor. Anka became famous in the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s
with hit songs like "Diana",
"Lonely Boy",
"Put Your Head on My
Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby".
He wrote such well-known music as the theme for The
Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's
biggest hits, "She's a Lady",
as well as the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way" (originally the French song "Comme
d'habitude"). He was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2005.
In 1983, he co-wrote
the song "I Never Heard" with Michael Jackson. It was retitled and released in 2009
under the name "This Is
It".[1] An
additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from this 1983 session, "Love Never Felt So Good",
was since discovered and was released on Jackson's posthumous album Xscape in
2014. The song was also released by Johnny Mathis in
1984.
Anka became a naturalized US
citizen in 1990.
Early
life[edit]
Anka was born in Ottawa, Ontario to
Camelia (née Tannis) and Andrew Emile "Andy" Anka, Sr., who owned a
restaurant called the Locanda.[2] His
parents were both Antiochian
Orthodox Christians.[3] He is of
Lebanese descent. [4]
Anka sang with the St. Elias
Antiochian Orthodox Church choir
under the direction of Frederick Karam, with whom he studied music theory. He
studied piano with Winnifred Rees. He attendedFisher Park High School,
where he was part of a vocal trio called the Bobby
Soxers.[5][
