doctors desire our-words
As doctors, we are not trained to communicate and understand the power of our words as they relate to a patient's ability and desire to survive.
cancer boys doctors
I know patients who bring a dozen roses to the doctor's office. And, boy, the next visit, nobody forgets that. You come in and hey - 'Here's the lady who brought the roses' vs. 'Here's the lung cancer.'
jobs taken doctors
Doctors are busy playing God when so few of us have the qualifications. And besides, the job is taken.
tired doctors may
The doctor that acts out of love doesn't burn out. He or she may get tired physically, but not emotionally.
doctors people doe
People have taught me what most doctors don't learn, in other words, when somebody does better than expected, the doctor will tell them they're doing very well and to keep it up. I learned to say, "You didn't die when you were supposed to so what's going on?", and they always had a story to tell me.
giving-up doctors people
I see people who die a few minutes after a doctor tells them there is no hope of a cure. They give up and go. Others get angry and find joy in proving the doctor wrong. Something within them is challenged and hopeful. Hope is the divine motivator.
dream believe past
I believe consciousness is non-local and a big part of what we experience with near death and past lives. It's the consciousness that has come into us from other experiences and our consciousness that we remain aware of when we leave our bodies and they communicate with us through dreams, and even through drawings which I do a lot of work with myself.
believe years interesting
When I experience something, I believe it. I almost choked to death when I was a four year old and had a near death experience. I was very upset that I didn't die because it was a lot more interesting out of your body than in it.
cutting blood law
The tree doesn't die, nor do I when you cut off a branch or a finger, we both heal so we don't lose all the sap or blood. That to me is total shock. Also that water defies the laws of physics by becoming less dense when frozen. Life really is a miracle and all the things that are been built into us through it.
animal listening problem
Animal intuitives can diagnose an animal's physical health problems by listening to the animals.
wise sick people
A surgeon is surrounded by people who are sick, discouraged, afraid, embittered, dying - but also courageous, loving, wise, compassionate and alive.
jesus what-if normal
What if Jesus was the only normal person who ever lived?
life dying may
Don't do things to not die, do things to enjoy living. The by-product may be not dying.
art self-esteem works-of-art
You too are a work of art.
