Assignment 5: Analysis of disease and healing
What aspect of the topic readings do you find the most
interesting? What is your view of the analysis of disease and
healing in the readings? Explain.
This reading below is what you should use to answer the above
question because that’s the one I found most interesting
Christine, an emergency-department staff nurse in an inner-city
hospital, saw two little boys running out of the men’s room
shouting, “Someone’s lying on thefloor in there!” Rushing in to
investigate, she found a leather-coated man of about thirty lying
face down on the floor, cyanotic. She felt a pulse but no breath.
Christine knew he was most likely an overdosed intravenous drug
user and HIV-positive, but when help seemed long in coming, she
began mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in spite of her fears.
Afterward her colleagues said she had been irresponsible. But all
Christine could think about was, if Jesus lived today, would he sit
among the HIV-positive and love them?
