    Sacred Stories

    The cardiologist her husband had seen while in the hospital was moving to a different practice in another city. She had been trying to get her husband established with this doctor.

    She had called previously, but they were not able yet to make an appointment.

    She just had the urge this morning so she called the number she had been given a couple of weeks prior.

    “We just got a message today that we can begin scheduling for him,” came the reply.

    They made an appointment….

    “I did not catch your name,” she said as she thanked the receptionist who had just made the appointment.

    “My name is Iris,” she replied.

    “Iris is such a beautiful name and it has special meaning to me,” she told the woman.

  • Father John

    Sacred Stories

    She was on retreat.

    She put her hand up and the energy of Father John came in.

    She says she doesn’t exactly know what happened, but a couple of months later when she had an echocardiogram the mitral regurgitation that was discovered in her 20’s was gone!

    When she asked her cardiologist if it’s possible for mitral regurgitation to disappear, he said, “No. Perhaps mitral stenosis.”

  • Dr. Silverman

    Sacred Stories

    Her mom had been taken to ER the evening before. The following afternoon, they finally got her transferred to a room.

    They were waiting for a cardiologist to see her mom.

    Following a heart attack, her mom had worked with a cardiologist 20 years earlier. Doctor Silverman and her mom became close over the years, until a couple years ago when he no longer had to see her. Dr. Silverman was always inspired by her mom.

    Her mom was really hoping that somehow he would be the one on call but they were at a HUGE Medical Center and the chances were minimal.

    She had tried to ask nurses in the ER, but the ER was super busy. No one got around to talking to her about her mom’s preference.

    She and her husband were walking through the halls while her mom was being wheeled on a cart to her room. She overheard her mom say, “That was Dr. Silverman.”

    Dr. Silverman was talking on the phone when he passed them, but he had heard his name and he came back. He asked her who the patient was that had spoken his name.

    Even though it had been several years, Dr. Silverman recognized her mom’s name right away.

    She explained that her mom was really hoping Dr. Silverman could be the cardiologist to see her.

    Dr. Silverman said, “I will do my best!”
