Doctors work in life-and-death situations every day. But what happens when they encounter something even they can’t explain scientifically?
Dreams foretelling future events, apparitions, and other miraculous experiences fill this book, as practicing doctors recount the most unusual moments of their careers.
Meant to awe, instruct, and inspire, these tales will convince even the harshest skeptic that there are things beyond this physical world and that sometimes, all we need to do is believe.
Physicians’ Untold Stories doesn’t stop at chronicling these occurrences. Scott J. Kolbaba, MD, provides a glimpse into the lives of doctors that few get to experience. Learn their agonies and joys. In their own words, doctors reach out to you and show you how faith in the divine has shaped their lives. Even in the darkest of times, as they comfort terminally ill patients and make impossible choices, moments of light shine through.
Like the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Kolbaba has catalogued inspiration moments into small stories perfect for bite-size reading—or maybe for gobbling up all at once!
Bio
Dr. Kolbaba is an internist in private practice in Wheaton, Illinois. He graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine with honors and did his residency at Rush Presbyterian-Saint Lukes Medical Center in Chicago and at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He has been awarded membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and has been featured in Chicago magazine as a “Top Doctor” in internal medicine. His friends accuse him of specializing in “big.” Being an only child, he now has a family of seven children. “I wouldn’t give up any of them, at least most of the time!” His other passions include his Newfoundland puppy, already one hundred thirty pounds, and flying kites. Yes, only the big ones. At sixteen square meters, his bright orange and green kite-boarding kite was his favorite until it pulled his neighbor and himself off the ground with a gentle breeze. They both dropped off before they ended up in the clouds. He still doesn’t understand why his neighbor won’t help with his kite hobby anymore. Following the same theme in his garden, Dr. Kolbaba has grown Atlantic Giant pumpkins and is the proud winner of the Sycamore, Illinois, and pumpkin-growing contest two years running. The first time was a surprise, but, the next year, the family invited all their friends to the festivities, which started with the cord cutting in the pumpkin patch by an experienced gynecologist. A caravan of obnoxious horn-blowing cars followed the flat bed truck carrying the precious pumpkin to the contest, where they were pronounced the winner again with a trophy and a cash prize of fifteen dollars.
