Surgeon Prays Before Operations to Aid Healing
A London surgeon, Mr Richard Hood Metcalfe, reports a seven year old boy severely injured by a fall recovering after prayer rather than surgery. He urges colleagues to begin rounds with a simple prayer for healing and divine guidance. Patients say the prayer strengthens faith in the medical team and in healing power. Morning prayers are common in hospitals and patients at St James Hospital feel extra comfort from the surgeon's humility before God.
