Work at the new hospital has been interesting. Children are certainly not just small adults. They say neurology is the double SS field for "strokes and siezures." It certainly has been true. The ventrans hospital inpatient was mostly strokes. The outpatient clinics had a bigger mix with some rarer conditions. The children's hopital has been predominatly siezures. There are a couple meningitis or neuropathy patients. There have been a few strokes in children or infants too. I guess I just didn't think they happened in this age group but they do.
Bible study tonight was on Acts 14, where we took at look at the second portion of Paul and Barnabas' first missionary trip. Not your typical modern two week mini-mission trip; run out of the first town or two and then stoned and left for dead. I thought it was interesting to look at two approaches used by the apostles when sharing the gospel. When speaking to groups in Antioch and Iconium which had a knowledge of scripture, they presented the gospel using Old Testament material. However, when they went to Lystra and spoke to predominantly Gentile's who lacked a knowledge of the Bible, they referred back to the more universal gospel that is presented in creation and mentioned in Romans 1:20. There is a lot of other interesting stuff in the chapter. Anyone have interesting thoughts on the passage? Maybe that will be the topic for the next entry.
For now, I should run. I have an early morning bagpipe lesson. Hopefully, I will have more than Amazing Grace learned and my lungs will hold up for more than half the lesson.
