“I was a young, agnostic doctor, happily rolling along, full of myself…,” says Robert Collins, M.D., author of You Visited Me, “when I had a quiet little quasi-mystical experience that had the effect of slapping me awake.”
The medical profession naturally involves encountering people at their most vulnerable and dealing with some of the most profound suffering that humans face. But it can also be an experience of profound joy, as when a child is born or when cancer is beaten. It is a life of hard conversations, breaking bad news, but also seeing the depth of God’s love and mercy in the face of these heavy crosses we bear.Related posts
