Specialists

I went to see my cardiologist today. He gave me good news and bad news. The good news is that my heart muscle is working just fine. The bad news is that my heart’s electrical system is not working well at all. So he is sending me to a Cardiac Electrophysicist.

I have never heard of that medical specialty. Sometimes it seems that specialties are so narrow that these medical personnel know only one thing. How about the gastrenterologist who only does colonoscopies? If you ask a specialist about a body function outside his specialty, they probably can’t help you.

Often I feel like the specialist. Ask me a question about something I’ve studied or had experience with and I can give you an answer. The answer may not be correct based upon my limited study or experience.

Sometimes when I am getting a medical test, like an MRI or CT Scan, I think to myself why don’t they just go to the source to find out what they want to know. I believe that God formed me in my mother’s womb and he still knows the intimate details of what is going on in my body. He can see and feel the incorrect electrical impulses in my heart. He knows the causes and what should be done to fix them. However he is not being asked, except by me, of course. He is not a specialist, but in fact, he knows all things, including the effective remedies. I say, “Go to the source, the creator.”

Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
