I have been dropping my thoughts on this blog post for months now in my notepad. During this period, as you can very well imagine, I have many times substituted one blogpost title for another. This; ….”When the Doctor Says No“……fits just fine and I love it!
I will have to split this blogpost into many parts, because there is just so much to write on it and I want you benefiting maximally.
Let me start you up from the beginning…..
I trained as a Medical Doctor, I prescribe drugs to people who need it, I also take medications sometimes, so this blog post is NOT about whether you should go see a doctor or not; take drugs or not; have that surgery or not. No! “When the Doctor Says No”, aims to show you a source of life that is superior to medicine, that out lives medicine and is immutable.
Medicine is important to human life. Doctors have devoted their lives to saving the lives of others. Doctors help treat illnesses, they help educate the public on preventive care. Ultimately doctors aim to restore or maintain health. While it is possible that a lot more understanding of the workings of the highly complex human body and its reactions to disease and disease agents is needed, medicine has helped fitted the very complex human body into books that when picked up helps the understanding of functioning of the human body. But I have personally come to the illogical conclusion that medicine is limited 🙂
For years my body was challenged with strange symptoms and the more I walked from one specialist colleague to another (at home and beyond), the clearer it became that the doctors had no answers for what I was experiencing. Even more annoying, was the tendency of some of them to suggest, that my mind was playing tricks on me as all my test results have come out okay and the medical examinations yielded nothing significant. One or two of them said to me; ‘go home and rest, there is nothing wrong with you medically’.
Nothing is wrong with me medically?!!!! How come a walk from my bed to the toilet seemed like a cross-country race? Why is my heart racing almost uncontrollably? Why the terrible feeling of weakness and dizziness? Why has laughter become a luxury to me for fear that my heart would stop beating? Why can’t I complete a sentence on the phone for lack of strength? Why is the ground spinning and shaking under my feet? Why the churn and frequent visits to the loo in one single day? Why can’t I look into my laptop for 10 minutes without feeling sick? Why has sleep become a scarce commodity to me? Why have I been ‘resting’ on my bed for days,….weeks, ……months as advised by the doctor without feeling any better? Why are the pulsations from my arteries so loud I can hear them with my ears? Why are they throbbing everywhere? Why do I struggle to breathe sometimes? Why all these strange feelings?
As annoying as the ‘Nothing is wrong with you medically‘ sounded sometimes, they were right; Nothing was wrong with me! And I say nothing is wrong with me Medically, Spiritually, Mentally and otherwise. I am Perfect & Complete. Healed and made Whole. I have the Life of God in me. Jesus Christ; The Life Giving One is alive in Me! Amen!!!
So this was my experience for many months…years. Doctors can indeed say ‘NO’ when they reach the limits of their learnings and practice experience. They can say ‘NO’; when;
- When the health problem is not specific and does not fit into any medically known disease description. Doctor genuinely wants to help but does not know exactly what to do as he cannot figure out what the problem is.
- When the prognosis for your health condition is poor ab initio and it’s not your making (Doctor thinks you are unlucky/unfortunate, but medicine cannot save you).
- When you present to the hospital at an advanced stage of an illness with very bad prognosis (Doctor cannot help you now).
Let me just say here, that I don’t know any doctor that would intentionally want to hurt a patient. I have heard of a few unpalatable occurrences, but these are rare. Doctors are trained to save lives, so they would want to do all they can to achieve that. When they say ‘NO’, then they must have explored all they know to do.
I bring you good news by this blog post; you can say ‘YES’ when the doctor says ‘NO’. And the ONLY way I know to end up with a YES when a doctor says NO is found in Isaiah 40:8
“The grass withers, the flower fades, But the Word of our God stands forever“.
Medicine is man-made, made out of man’s dedicated studies and understanding.
But man himself is grass!!!
“The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said; “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field” Isaiah 40:6
Medicine has limits! Do not put all your hope on medicine.
I introduce to you the Sure, Settled, Immutable and Unfailing Word of God that Stands Forever.
“Trust in The Lord with All Your Heart and lean not on your own understanding”. Proverbs 3:5
When the doctors say ‘NO’, I dare you to trust in The Lord with All your heart.
Notice that I haven’t said trust in your Pastor/Bishop/Pope/Spouse. These people will all fail you even against their best intentions. No, let me rephrase that; these people help build up your faith, they may even pray for you, cast out devils and demons, but you’ll learn that in the darkest part of the night, when it seems life is leaving your body, that you cannot chain them to yourself. You have to fight your fight of faith drawing from whatsoever they’ve taught you, and be assured that they are praying for you.
Lean on The Lord completely. Plant Yourself in Him. You SHALL live again. I promise you that.
In “When the Doctor Says ‘NO’ : Blog Post 2, we will begin to look at what we must do to get a ‘Yes’ if the doctor says ‘NO’.
My Love always…..
