Sometimes it’s not the medicine, but the wisdom of those who practice it that makes all the difference. Dr. John Forsyth learned this early in his career when, in the middle of the night, he hurried to the emergency room. It was the early 1970’s and his patient’s adult daughter was struggling to say good-bye to her mother in her final hours. Dr. Forsyth couldn’t calm her down, and her cries of fear and loss were agonizing. So, he called an older, more experienced, doctor to come help. The seasoned doctor quietly placed the daughter’s hand on top of her mother’s and his own hand on top of theirs. The emotions of fear and loss were no less than before, but through his quiet touch the cries slowly melted into a moment of calm and peace before her death.
