Don't be afraid to ask for help Be willing to talk to a Christian friend, church leader or Christian doctor. As one of the latter, I can now say that Christians such as myself who have 'survived' medical school would only be too delighted to offer a listening ear, perhaps inviting you to their home for an evening away from the books. CMF can provide details of those in your area who are willing to help in this way. We need to create the time to do this. This brings us back to the point I made earlier.
Christian medics can have a life outside of medicine.
It's simply about using our time appropriately. We have a vocational call from no less a person than the Creator of the universe. We all make our own contribution to medicine and its practice, some to furthering medical knowledge. We stand against the tide in areas such as abortion, pre-natal screening, genetic manipulation and euthanasia. We can provide fuller whole-person care as we consider a patient's spiritual needs as well as physical, mental and social needs.
