The Extraordinary Experiences of Physicians Near Deer Creek, Oisterwijk

Faith is not a word that appears in most medical charts, but it is present in virtually every patient encounter. The patient who asks you to pray with them before surgery. The family that gathers in the hospital chapel while their child is in the operating room. The elderly woman who credits her rosary beads with her recovery from pneumonia. For physicians in Deer Creek, Oisterwijk, these moments are as much a part of clinical practice as prescribing medications — and often more meaningful to the patient.
