As a healthcare provider myself-- I do agree it is so much more than caring for the physical. Doesn't it seem, sometimes, that the spiritual aspect becomes consuming for the patient but is an area we can definitely grow in as far as the care we provide to our patients?

I loved what you said here:"I approach each patient from not only a physical aspect, but from a psychological and spiritual one as well. I look at it as part of my job and their therapy to put their suffering into perspective and give them some hope."<br /><br />I try to do the same as a counselor. Of course I'm primarily looking at the psychological and spiritual aspects but suffering effects everything. My hubby is an oncology social worker. <br /><br />I love the cover of the book. Grew up with horses. Really looking forward to reading this, Mike. I'm sure it will touch a lot of people.<br /><br />Jill@jilliankent.com Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-51504918559122354432012-10-17T19:30:48.407-06:002012-10-17T19:30:48.407-06:00Great post, Michael.

I love that God doesn't waste anything! TD Jakes says, "Your misery is your ministry" and this is holding true for you.
