    Being a physician was the greatest blessing from GOD.When I took care of patients who were getting close to the end, I always took this opportunity to tell them about JESUS. Most of these people really wanted to hear about GOD and JESUS and eternity. Don’t miss this opportunity to try to save a soul.

    I concur with the comments shared by Dr Donald W Hall. Having the privilege of becoming an Osteopathic Physician and practicing family medicine for the past 32 years has indeed been a blessing from GOD. I have maintained a faith based practice and include spirituality and prayer with my patients, stressing it’s importance in wellness and healing. Having the opportunity and taking the time to share my faith reminds me of this blessing. Patients find comfort in offering prayer with them in times of illness and sorrow as well as when physically well. Most believe and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and find emotional comfort in praying to GOD for their recovery from illness and for return to a physical and mental state of wellness.
    Having the opportunity of being with my patient’s and their families when the end of life approaches has allowed be to witness their faith in GOD and their belief in eternity. Families find comfort as well in the belief of their loved ones attaining eternal healing when they pass on.
