scalpel and the soul, The
Book Description
Drawing from three decades in the operating room, surgeon Allan J. Hamilton opens a rarely discussed door between medicine and the mystical in this profound exploration of spiritual encounters within healthcare settings.
Hamilton reveals how the sterile world of modern medicine often collides with inexplicable phenomena that challenge everything doctors are trained to believe. While medical professionals learn to dismiss what cannot be measured or explained, both physicians and patients frequently experience the same mysterious events during moments of crisis. These encounters with the ineffable often emerge when life hangs in the balance, suggesting that healing involves far more than surgical skill and medical technology alone.
Through compelling patient stories and personal experiences, Hamilton demonstrates how intuition, premonition, hope, and faith become tangible forces that can influence recovery and even determine survival. He validates the spiritual dimensions that many healthcare workers witness but rarely discuss openly, while encouraging patients to honor their own spiritual needs during medical treatment.
This candid memoir bridges the gap between scientific medicine and soul-centered healing, showing how the mysterious powers of human consciousness emerge most powerfully during life-threatening situations. Hamilton concludes with practical wisdom gained through years of navigating critical medical situations, offering guidance for patients and families facing surgery or intensive care.
For anyone seeking to understand the deeper spiritual dimensions of healing, this book provides both validation and insight into the sacred aspects of medical care.
