With all of the medical knowledge I have learned and continue to learn, and with all the hands held, prayers spoken, and emotions shared as family, friend, and fellow human being, this verse continues to be a strong and very important reminder to me in all that I do:

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” vs 22

No matter the advances in medicine and technology, I find none of them can quite take the place of having a good home, a healthy diet and lifestyle, and a cheerful attitude and spirit.
