Doxology: A liturgical formula of praise to God.
Docsology: A doctor merging medical science and stories in praise to God.
As a Christian physician, I believe that medical storytelling can clearly and powerfully illustrate spiritual realities. Docsology explores what we can learn about God from nature, especially in the intricacies of the human body, and how the stories of suffering people reveal God’s character and love.
– Dr. Bill Maynard
Writings
Essays that explain medical science and human illness while exploring spiritual truths.
A Masterful, Meticulous God, Part 1
The patient’s thirst mechanism is deranged, and he begins drinking water with the same avid obsession of a mental delusion. The sodium level falls in the blood because of dilution. Out of unbearable thirst Roscoe has drunk water to the point of death.
KNOWLEDGE IN THE NIGHT
There are perhaps tens of thousands of stars in space for every single grain of sand on the entire earth.
The Message of Creation: Mastery and Brilliance, Part 2
DNA is a long molecule in your every cell, containing coded instructions for all the processes that happen in your body and forming a blueprint for a unique human being: you! Imagine that your DNA is a long ticker tape of paper with a huge string of letters written on it. Inscribed there in a chemical alphabet of just four characters is a book over three billion (3,000,000,000) letters long, comprising twenty-three chapters known as chromosomes. If you were to read aloud continuously the letters in the DNA from just a single cell in your body, you would be speaking for nine and a half years! Now that is hardly casual beach reading! By comparison, Tolstoy’s lengthy novel War and Peace contains a mere 560,000 words.
