"After a vigorous climb to our mountain ridge hospital along the same trail we had slipped and slid along earlier in the day, I found to my dismay that there were three emergency patients waiting for attention. The nurse on call had prepared each patient completely, and we quickly decided which patient order would be appropriate. The first patient had a sigmoid volvulus of the chronic intermittent variety, and he underwent a primary resection without incident. The next was a Cesarean section for an obstructed labor of two full days' duration with a baby that was still doing well but in distress. The last patient had a perforated typhoid ulcer of the lower ilium near the appendix." --Harold P Adolph, MD FACS
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Harold P Adolph's new book shares thrilling and inspiring stories of surgical challenges from around the world.
Born to medical missionaries in China, Harold Paul Adolph felt he was being called to medical service even at an early time in life. After his life was repeatedly snatched from the jaws of death, Dr. Adolph finally recognized God had placed him on assignment. He felt led by God to work as a surgeon in places with few surgeons and to train surgeons to carry on this ministry for the sake of the gospel.
Since 1966, Dr. Adolph and his wife, Bonnie Jo, have served in the US, Liberia, Niger Republic, and Ethiopia. They have also set up a two-hundred-bed surgical training center in South Central Ethiopia with a dedicated staff of expatriate and Ethiopian specialists. In "Surgeon On Call 24-7," Dr. Adolph discusses the living circumstances of the patients and key elements of surgery, including the providence and provision God afforded him over the many years of doing what many would have considered an impossible "on call" schedule.
