The best of disease comes in many forms, in both physical and mental destruction. Some diseases are seen in cells through microscopes while others, through DNA sequencing. The world is full of battles that we never see taking place, some inside our bodies and minds, others, amongst the ground we walk, which cause disease or cancer. And with disease comes adversity-leaving families shaken and torn, sometimes even broke from the health-care costs accumulated fighting back against illness. Life-long battles of those who struggle with cystic fibrosis provide educational opportunities we can learn from. Provided we listen, these unique experiences-insights into the light among dark times-are the physician's best asset to offer simple ways to improve. More often than not, I have discovered the Lord has led them down and through the rugged path made of cobblestone, guided by the Word of God and Scripture from biblical texts. Health-care professionals, doctors and patients a-like, along with families affected by disease or illness, stand to increase their quality of life by opening and listening to one another carefully. Treating disease was not originally intended to be a business-let us not manage patients as if they are soulless creatures. God gave us the tools (ears) not to be insensitive but to listen and aid those in pain. Everything God gave us has its purpose. Use them for the greater glory of the Lord!
