The Scalpel and the Soul: Encounters with Surgery, the Supernatural, and the Healing Power of Hope

by Allan J Hamilton

The Scalpel and the Soul: Encounters with Surgery, the Supernatural, and the Healing Power of Hope Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A Harvard-educated neurosurgeon reveals his experiences-in and out of the operating room-with apparitions, angels, exorcism, after-death survival, and the miracle of hope.

The Scalpel and the Soul explores how premonition, superstition, hope, and faith not only become factors in how patients feel but can change outcomes. It validates the spiritual manifestations physicians see every day and empowers patients to voice their spiritual needs when they seek medical help. Finally, it addresses the mysterious, attractive powers the soul exerts during life-threatening events.

Hamilton, M.D., FACS, went on to attend Harvard Medical School and to become the chief of neurosurgery and chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center.
