More wisdom from Adrienne von Speyr
There is a relationship between the patient and God that is to be mediated through his trust in the doctor. On the part of the doctor, this corresponds to a prayerful relationship with God, Who may grant him the ultimate success of his professional work, which is something outside the doctor’s power and which also means that he must assume his professional responsibility in the name of his trust in God.

CALLED TO HEAL
Adrienne von Speyr, one of the freshest and most original spiritual writers of the twentieth century, draws from her long experience as a medical doctor to teach Christian medical professionals the art of treating and loving their patients. Physicians and nurses are called by God to be more than mere custodians of health, but bearers of Jesus’ good news, healers who care for the body as well as soul. To be true to their calling, they must come to understand their patients as whole human persons—indeed, as their own equals.
