I volunteer at Bridges and stumbled across your blog when I was doing a search for Feelie Hearts. It’s so wonderfully moving to see the Feelie Heart being mentioned. I never go anywhere without mine.

A friend sent me the link to your blog. Being a first year medical student myself and trying not to lose the passion and desires that brought me into this field in the first place, I found your message encouraging. Thanks!

I have been a cancer nurse for the past ten years working with both children and adults. Almost everyone I meet ask me “How can you do that? Aren’t you sad all the time? Even though I have lost many patients- what an impact they have made on my life! I am such a better person for caring for some of these patients. It is when a loss of life doesn’t bother you that you need to be worried. During the hard times- I alway refer back John 9:1-3. Sidenote: Ronnie Norman had a great sermon this last Sunday on “Good Mourning”- Blessed are those who can care and have compassion for this fallen and chaotic world.

Matt, they can’t test the deep compassion that you will no doubt demonstrate daily to the people that God will place in your path. Help from the overflow of your love for your King and you will heal many!

My grandmother is currently in an ICU unit on life support due to septic shock. having just returned from spending 5 days there with my family I am most thankful for those doctors who, not only demonstrate professionalism, but exhibit compassion that goes beyond simply doing their jobs. They offer so much to those in my family struggling the most with this.

As a “grey-beard” physician I feel for Matt and even more for the docs discussed in your blog. Although standard medical education often tries to galvanize physicians against “feeling” pain, grief and loss- the best ones and the ones I want to look after me are the ones who still remember how to care.
