Day 18
Today I am thankful for doctors and medicine. Throughout my life I have been on the receiving end and the observation end. I had someone ask once if I believed in divine healing. My reply was that I thought all healing was divine healing because God had given doctors and science the knowledge to do what they do. Over 25 years ago I had a cerebral aneurysm that was surgically repaired and I marvel now at how far medicine and medical care has progressed. Being a caregiver for my mother-in-law, father, and husband during cancer treatment, I am thankful for those compassionate people who treat this horrible disease on a daily basis. One of my grandsons was diagnosed yesterday with pneumonia. He was given a breathing treatment in the office and sent home with meds. A few years ago that would have meant a stay in the hospital and even more years ago would have been life threatening. So yes today I am thankful for doctors and the improvement in medicines that while not always being able to heal are able to provide comfort.
