As with many others who have left comments, I was moved to tears by this incredible example of our precious Lord's compassion for human life. I commend Dr. Russ, he sounds like a very fine Dr. and brother in Christ. What can you say after reading a story like this one except, WOW!

They recognized their limitations but not Jesus's. Often as christian's who are in the traditional medical field we limit Jesus. We sometimes confuse 'caregiving' with 'curegiving.' and 'cure' with 'healing.' It's only me.... No time.....What if..... With the many opportunities we have to touch, there are opportunities for silent prayer. Prayer in the hospital is considered an activity rather than an intervention, as the opportunity presents itself ,use it. We can represent Jesus in our next stressful situation. Sometimes, the best way to pray for the patient is to pray for ourselves and our team. See John chapter 9:1-41. The blind man was physically healed (saw), then believed, then witnessed to his family and community. Thank you, DR.'s Paul, Russ and team for this timely reminder.

To be the hands and feet of Christ here on earth certainly takes sacrifice. Thanks for showing us what that looks like in a life saving way! To God be the glory in that He restored life, but also may Dr. Ross be blessed for listening to The Still Small Voice and taking action. I pray for all of you! Melanie Dr. Paul,

That guy will never be the same. Every time that x-patient looks at the scars on his leg, he'll remember Dr. Russ and the gift of life he gave. I beleive that seed will grow.

I thank the Holy Spirit who whispered this thought to Dr Russ, that he recognized his prompting and immediately obeyed. Life is in the blood indeed says the Bible!!To God be the glory. May he reward you all trying to serve the Lord by the demonstration of kingdom principles. What a lesson learned and what an exemple!
