Synopsis

With over thirty years’ experience in the medical field, Dr. Mayor has learned a lot about health and humanity. We are more than just our bodies. More than just our minds. As a devoted Christian, husband, dad and grandpa, he sees his interactions with patients as more than simply addressing their physical and emotional needs. He knows that there is also a spiritual element to each person he encounters.

Throughout his career Dr. Mayor has answered patients’ questions about everything from nosebleeds to sex, from cholesterol to aging. He has been with patients as they have taken their last breath and has deepened in his conviction that there is a hopeful future after death. He has also learned from years of listening that words have the power to harm or heal, and that we all suffer from the devastating infection of what he calls “G & C”—grumbling and complaining.

This unique collection of stories, thoughts, and advice puts you in the patient’s chair of an experienced Christian doctor who has your best interest in mind. You’ll smile, you’ll tear up, and you’ll gain plenty of life-changing insight to put into practice today and to benefit from for a lifetime.

He is confident that if the information contained in this book were considered, there would be a substantial reduction of unnecessary Emergency Room visits and therefore health care dollars will be saved. He wants the reader to complete the reading of his book happier and wiser for having spent the time. He wishes for you a wonderful, blessed, happy and healthy tomorrow.
