When Your Doctor Has Bad News

As a practicing oncologist, Dr. Al Weir works daily with patients who receive bad news. As a father, he faced broken dreams when his 17-year-old daughter suffered a broken back. As a medical missionary, he cared for the needs of people in dire circumstances. He has discovered the amazing difference between those who live each day fully, even in the face of suffering or pending death, contrasted with those who slip into despair and discouragement. Dr. Weir offers 18 steps toward peace, strength, and maximum healing for any patient faced with disturbing medical news. Rather than quick, easy answers, he equips patients to weather the storm and emerge stronger, richer, and more whole than ever before. Features include: * Real stories of patients and personal experiences of Dr. Weir * Scriptural guidance for meeting the challenge * Prayer guidance for opening and maintaining communion with God * Balance between practical help and spiritual insight * Short, easily managed chapters
