Synopsis

The purpose of this treatise is: 1) to draw attention to the presence of situations arising within medical practice in which religious beliefs play an important role. 2) to emphasize the fact that most students and many doctors are given insufficient training in such matters, which are of considerable import to a fair percentage of the public. 3) to provide a few examples of what is meant by a religio-medical situation, and a bibliography for further exploration by the initiate in such matters.

About this title

About the Author:

John Dawson arrived as a 10 pound baby in his mother's bed on March 7, 1929. His father, a solicitor-coroner, and his mother, a physical education teacher and national athlete, saw to my early education beginning at three years of age. I was away at a British "prep" school when Nazi bombs and bullets started to fall. At this point, father gathered my mother, I, and two sisters and shipped us to USA and Canada. I have been fortunate to have been published in medical journals, and involved in national guidelines, but this is the first book. During this life I met many religions and many doctors and these visits form the basis for this book.
