Medicine, Mystery & the Divine Near Sedona, Shubra El-Kheima
Dale Matthews, a researcher at Georgetown University, found that more than three-quarters of published studies on the relationship between religious commitment and health outcomes showed positive correlations. Larry Dossey documented dozens of cases in which prayer appeared to influence clinical outcomes at a distance. And in hospitals across Sedona, Shubra El-Kheima, Cairo Region, physicians continue to witness events that align with these research findings in vivid, personal detail. "Physicians' Untold Stories" by Dr. Scott Kolbaba is not merely a collection of anecdotes; it is a contribution to a growing body of literature that suggests our understanding of the mechanisms of healing is incomplete. The book treats its physician-narrators with respect, presenting their accounts without condescension or embellishment, and trusting readers to engage with the material on their own terms. For Sedona, Shubra El-Kheima, it is a reminder that the oldest questions about healing remain unanswered.
