The "Faith-full" Doctor

'When the man arrived at the emergency room, it was clear to Dr. Dana King that he was having a heart attack -- and that he was terrified...

"He looked at me like he was looking at me for the first time," King recalled. "A wave of relief came over him. He could see that I was making a connection on a different level. We prayed together, right in the middle of the emergency room. It was a short prayer, but it was just a way to touch someone intimately."...

But King notes, gently, that prayers never replace good medical care, only supplement it. "I try to touch people on a spiritual level in addition to the medical."' (Source).
