Around this time last year, Justin Smith, 26, was walking home from drinks with his co-workers. He doesn\u2019t remember what happened, but he must have tripped and fallen and knocked himself unconscious.<\/p>\n<p>Don Smith, his father, found him the following morning, frozen on a snow bank. \u201cHe was blue. His face was lifeless. I checked for a pulse. I checked for a heartbeat. There was nothing,\u201d he told WNEP news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coroner was on scene. The state police were on scene. They were doing essentially a death investigation,\u201d said Dr. Gerald Coleman, the emergency room physician on duty when Justin\u2019s body was brought into the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Of course\u2013I wouldn\u2019t be writing about it otherwise\u2013it all ended well. After three weeks in a coma, Justin woke up, with no brain damage. Incredibly, Justin recovered completely.<\/p>\n<p>That miracle wasn\u2019t all that caught my attention, however. What I found most remarkable is what Dr. Coleman did. He wouldn\u2019t give up on Justin and pronounce him dead, even though all his training told him the situation was hopeless. \u201cOur mind is supposed to run the show, not our hearts because if your heart runs the show, you can run into some problems,\u201d Dr. Coleman said. \u201cI just kind of threw that to the wind and said, \u2018No, not today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the kind of doctor I want to see\u2013one who can make the leap beyond what can sometimes be the cold, indifferent logic of medicine. This news item got me thinking how so many of our stories of healing and recovery feature, in one way or another, a care-giver who takes a leap of faith or who goes beyond standard protocol. In the December\/January issue of Mysterious Ways, my co-worker <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/comfort-hope\/a-heart-to-heart-talk-with-dr-mimi-guarneri?nopaging=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diana Aydin interviewed Dr. Mimi Guarneri<\/a>, a physician who certainly falls into this category. Dr. Guarneri told Diana that the heart, for example, is not just a functional organ but \u201cthe connection to higher power and consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d hesitate to go to a \u201cfaith healer\u201d\u2013I prefer a doctor with a medical degree\u2013but after reading stories like these, I\u2019m inclined to see a doctor who, at the very least, remains open to faith. A doctor like Dr. Guarneri, who believes that I am more than just a body manifesting certain symptoms related to some kind of biological dysfunction\u2013that my body is connected to something else. Or someone like Dr. Coleman, who sensed something greater than himself, whatever that may have been, was telling him to keep trying to save a life, against medical common sense.<\/p>\n<p>Has a doctor or caregiver ever taken a leap for you? Have you taken that leap for others?
