Andrew was very happy he safe the mom nd child successfully after the alot of hardwork of him he was his first delivery

These words of Dr Andrew indicate toward the feeling of total satisfaction that one derives on having the desired results after once sincere efforts. He uttered these words when finally the baby came back to life due to his efforts. Initially, Andrew was lost for a while. He didn't know what to do. He felt like his dreams melting to thin air.
