In continuance of the subject gifts of the Holy Spirit, I have been wanting to speak more personally of my observations of the medical profession. The ones  that I have witnessed.

When we take a step back and really look at what God has selected for their life’s calling and what they have to do everyday it is astounding. They are after all only people like us but with a different and special gift.

For us non medical professionals just think of the personal nature of what they have to do to care for us  in our lives. For a doctor meeting a patient and 5 minutes later they are conducting a physical on a stranger. For the person in the blood lab trying to find the vein of a patient with small veins due to treatment all the while saying sorry like it’s their fault.

There are times when I could see their pain as they were preparing me for my awake brain surgery/ biopsy. Can you imagine being a surgeon and standing at the foot  of a patient’s bed that you have  just met. And then having to say sorry to that patient as you drill a hole in their head and then saying sorry you are going to feel a very sharp pain behind your eye as they pushed the probe into My brain to the tumors location.

That’s what happened to me at  The Lahey Clinic.

That’s is what I call a display of bravery born out of brotherly love. A supreme gift of God through the Holy Spirit. They were given the mental capacity to learn and understand the complexity of the science necessary and the wisdom necessary to discern what treatment protocol may be best for our anatomy and cancer in order to  aide their patient.  And, while they are trying to decide what protocol to use you can bet The Holy Spirit of GOD IS assisting in this process.These beautiful people are blessed with steady hands, healing hands of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Beyond that they need to be able to keep their emotions in check. They need to be personal without being too personal for their own psychological protection. You know a doctor or any medical staff dealing with life and  death situations can feel very responsible when a patient passes. My mom’s family doctor was her primary for over 30 years, I know that her passing effected him but I also know that she trusted and loved her doctor. He knew that too.

I have gone to my physical therapist many times and during the treatment thought to myself , God I could not do this. The  therapist stretches my left side out all the time and over the period of my healing has had to stretch out the muscles and joints in order to bring my body back as closely  to its original state.

I think as a patient the most important thing that we can do is to thank  anyone who is helping us and serving us and to validate what they are and have done and are doing for us.

There is an old saying a person in the medical practice  is only practicing medicine. I believe that . I do not mean that in a derogatory way.

Doctors and people in the medical field are human and are not God, and mistakes and human error can happen.

I know first hand that things can happen medically that are simply out of our and our doctors control. I learned that over 25 years ago when I lost my son Brad Michael. Brad had the best medical care possible. Despite that fact, it was 14 days of the most painful and yet beautiful days of my life. The doctors were very kind and comforted us. The day after my son passed we were notified by my doctor of a article that had come out the  day after he passed in the journal of medicine warning of a certain type of suctioning  that could cause cardiac arrest and death. Well, that is what happened to my son. It was not there fault it was a cruel twist of life.

My wife and my response at that time was simple, we saw them in action , all the medical staff at my son’s bed space loving him and supporting us. The doctor on more that one occasion put his arm around us as we walked down the hallway to a private room to discuss his case.

So, when we found out about this article we thanked them and said we do not blame you, you are not responsible. You see, they are not God.

My son’s illness and passing was not God’s original desire for us. Original sin caused this world’s imperfection. So, this is the world and state of living that we have as our lives.

But, you know what? God used our son and his situation for his purpose and our  good. Out of the 5 children that my wife and I have had Brad changed all of our lives here at my home in a profound way the most He brought both my wife and my life’s journey to find God to a new level. Did we want this situation in our lives ? No way. But we are better and stronger for it, that is for sure. It has prepared us for anything that could  happen, including my brain cancer. God’s here, Brad’s watching over my family . So thanks to Boston Children Hospital for your fine care of our son so long ago.

This is a new singer that I found through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, of course! 🙂

Julie sings the psalms and many healings from Jesus have occurred to people who listen to it. So it has been said, so think positive and we will see 🙂

It is the time of Miracles !  Amen.

 

Please pray for all the sick, AND PLEASE PRAY FOR ISRAEL. AMEN.
