Many angel stories occur in hospitals, and that’s logical, isn’t it? Where better to look for helpers of the spiritual kind?
Mary LaGrange of Greenfield, Wisconsin, would agree. She was concerned when her brother George was admitted to the hospital to have laser surgery on his lower eye lid. He had had a previous surgery on that eye lid because of a bout with cancer, and the laser had removed a small portion of lid and his eyelashes. Now his eye was becoming irritated, and the doctor wanted to do the procedure again.
“George was not comfortable about having a second surgery,” says Mary, “so we prayed that someone would help him make the right decision.”
On the evening he was admitted, George was still wrestling with the options when a doctor came in. “I’d like to take some pictures of your eye,” the man explained. “Just follow me.”
More pictures! George inwardly groaned. He’d never seen this physician before, but followed him down the hospital hallway to a door at the end. The door didn’t open easily, and the doctor fiddled with the doorknob, as if he was unsure as to how it worked. But there were the x-ray machines in the room, and the doctor set everything up and took the pictures. “You know,” George said, as the session ended, “I’m not really sure I need this treatment.”
“Well, it’s up to you,” the doctor pointed out. “You can do it, but in my opinion, it’s really not necessary. The condition could very well clear up on its own.”
“Really?” George was surprised. No one else had mentioned this possibility. When the doctor left, George returned to thinking.
By the time the nurse came in that morning, he had made his decision. “We had asked for someone to give us some advice,” says Mary, “and that’s what we received. George decided not to have the surgery, and he went home feeling very relieved.”
About a week later George stopped in at the hospital accounting department. He wanted to see if that last set of x-rays would be covered by his insurance. But a surprise awaited him. There was no record of any extra pictures taken. “Are you sure?” George asked. “Maybe they’re lost.”
“What was the doctor’s name?” the woman asked.
George hadn’t noticed any identification. And there was no record of the doctor’s consultation.
The bills never turned up and George was never bothered by his eye condition again. “The whole experience was amazing,” Mary says. She won’t forget to ask for help the next time.
