Superhero Tag

Jacque wants to know if I have a superhero or special activities.

I am no superhero nor would I want to be conceited enough to say that this is a superhero ability, but I would like to think that I have healing abilities.

Being a doctor only comes after years and years of endless training and self sacrifice, foregoing a decent income and a decent family life while working for the privilege of helping people get well.

I know that I am not the only one who works for the healing of my patients. It is the three of us, the patient himself/herself who tries to heal himself, the Lord who is the ultimate Healer, and the doctor who is the instrument in assisting the patient in healing.

Every time a patient gets better, I rejoice. Every time a patient loses his battle with his illness, I grieve with him.

I would like to think that I have helped more and more people as I practice my profession. I love the feeling of being able to do SOMETHING to make my patient a little better.

At the end of the day, I am not a superhero. I am just doing my mission and my calling, and I hope I do it well. But in the end, it is not up to me. It is up to Him.
