A Surgeon Prays

Lorenzo · January 21, 2009, 12:47:36 AM

There is a General Surgeon in the hospital, Dr. Jensen, who prays before every surgery he goes to. And after surgery, he also prays. Even if the patient survives or does not. He still prays afterwards.

I was so humbled to see that.

I know you are going to be that kind of doctor, Dong. A prayerful doctor.

BTW, are you interested to read the book, Surgeons Do Not Cry? Your Ate Belle has it now but she too recommends that book for you. It's written by a Pinoy doctor, Dr. Ting Tiongco.

Inspirational for me to meet physicians who are so strong in their faith. Dr. Jensen is a peculiar man, 'te. He has a strong and firm handshake. I can feel his resolve.

It is touching to know that a man who can be so resolved, can also have so much faith in The Lord.

I would love to read that book, 'te.

Bran,

Pare, I believe that any medical specialist are only God's instrument. I also noticed from ptofessional soccer players that they pray and make a sign of crucifix before and after the game as a sign of thanks. I think you will do the same if your time comes to do some treatments, right?

Bran,

Dong, once your Ate Belle is done reading the book, you'll be the next to read it.

Tito, I want to go into Surgery. Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Salamat kaayo for thinking of me, sir.

If it is by His Will.

been watching grey's anatomy lately. how far is the series from a real surgeon's life?

Lorenzo · January 23, 2009, 09:20:19 AM

Surgeons have a hard life, sir. A more accurate visual would be watching Discovery Health's "Life in the ER".

I do like HOUSE and SCRUBS. Palamuut baya.

TOPAC · January 23, 2009, 09:32:09 AM

a, k. i'll try to grab pirated dvd copies of those soon. thanks

Lorenzo · January 23, 2009, 09:53:25 AM

Hahaha! Tan-awa lang gud sa youtube, Sir.

Kuyawa bitaw ning grey's anatomy. Drama-Drama jud hahaha.

Paborito jud nako ang SCRUBS.

TOPAC · January 23, 2009, 02:22:16 PM

Lorenzo · January 23, 2009, 11:59:57 PM

Tito,

Gi blocked diay mo from visiting some sites? Mo recommend jud ko sa SCRUBS kai palamuut ang show.

Medicine, and especially in Surgery, is a seniority-based profession.

It is a progressive step. You have the Experienced Attending Surgeon, behind him is the attending surgeon, behind him is the surgery resident, and behind him is the surgery intern.

The surgical intern is in the back. Observing and listening. The one in front is the Experienced Attending Surgeon. Who, literally, holds the life the patient in the palm of his hands.

Lorenzo · January 24, 2009, 11:11:57 PM

This is what Dr. Jensen prays out loud:

Lord, You are the Healer when we are tired and weak; help me show my patients that You're the strength they seek. And when there are not answers and no medicine will do, may they find hope in knowing that I'm lifting them to You.
Isaiah 40:31

Bad Godesberg · January 26, 2009, 05:29:11 AM

We thank God for having a doctor like him and like you.
God is our great healer, naa kanunay ang mga doctor aron sa pag save sa buhay ng mga may sakit at daghang salamat sa mga doktor na mag-ampo kanunay para sa patiente.

Ang Ginoo anaa kanimo.

Lorenzo · January 26, 2009, 05:49:19 AM

We hope and pray to never stray from the teachings of LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Because His Word is strength for the bones, and sinew of marrow.
Ang Ginoo, will strengthen even the weakest person, even if life is not in the future for that individual, the Lord still strengthens them to accept their fate and the Love of God.

The Peace and Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of Us.
We ask this In His Name.
And His Name Alone.

Amen.

The meticulousness of a Surgeon

Who said doctors won't pray with patients?

Physician-Surgeons gather to pray before starting a medical mission in Jamaica.
The POWER of Prayer

A physician uses the power of prayer with a patient

I watch THE DOCTORS.

Lorenzo · February 08, 2009, 11:45:33 AM

Why doctors pray? They pray because their source of inspiration, their source of anything and everything is from GOD.

Ako, I am only a 2nd term Medical Student, but my life revolves around God. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it. Especially in medical school where we live hour by hour, where a good 10 some hours of our day is spent in classes and reading, and doing rounds. Our only solace, mga higala, is GOD.

When we are studying for examinations and when all feels lost and if some concepts wont stick, it is by the GRACE of God that we are able to survive, able to surmount our testaments, and to fight another day.

Physicians who are very devout Christian are so because they survived the grueling years of medical school through prayer. I for one draw strength from prayer. I do believe in the power of prayer.

Moyhua · February 08, 2009, 11:51:35 AM

Lahi ra jud ang feeling kung naa sa atong kasingkasing og hunahuna ang Ginoo pirmi.

Lorenzo · February 08, 2009, 11:56:45 AM

Angie, when one thinks about The Lord before he or she does something, definitely that individual, through his/ her faith, will surmount.

Ingoon man ang Our Lord, Jesus Christ, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
-John 14:13-14

With God, anything is possible. The limitations are no longer limitations, but become possibilities. For there is no 'impossibility' with The Lord.
