The best of disease comes in many forms, in both physical and mental destruction. Some diseases are seen in cells through microscopes while others, through DNA sequencing. The world is full of battles that we never see taking place, some inside our bodies and minds, others, amongst the ground we walk, which cause disease or cancer. And with disease comes adversity""leaving families shaken and torn, sometimes even broke from the health-care costs accumulated fighting back against illness. Life-long battles of those who struggle with cystic fibrosis provide educational opportunities we can learn from. Provided we listen, these unique experiences""insights into the light among dark times""are the physician's best asset to offer simple ways to improve. More often than not, I have discovered the Lord has led them down and through the rugged path made of cobblestone, guided by the Word of God and Scripture from biblical texts. Health-care professionals, doctors and patients a-like, along with families affected by disease or illness, stand to increase their quality of life by opening and listening to one another carefully. Treating disease was not originally intended to be a business""let us not manage patients as if they are soulless creatures. God gave us the tools (ears) not to be insensitive but to listen and aid those in pain. Everything God gave us has its purpose. Use them for the greater glory of the Lord!
Racecar driver Earnhardt was at the top of his game—until a minor crash resulted in a concussion that would eventually end his 18-year career. In his only authorized book, Dale shares the inside track on his life and work, reflects on NASCAR, the loss of his dad, and his future as a broadcaster, businessperson, and family man. It was a seemingly minor crash at Michigan International Speedway in June 2016 that ended the day early for NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. What he didn’t know was that it would also end his driving for the year. He’d dealt with concussions before, but no two are the same. Recovery can be brutal, and lengthy. When Dale retired from professional stock car racing in 2017, he walked away from his career as a healthy man. But for years, he had worried that the worsening effects of multiple racing-related concussions would end not only his time on the track but his ability to live a full and happy life. Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt tried to pretend that everything was fine, but the private notes about his escalating symptoms that he kept on his phone reveal a vicious cycle: suffering injuries on Sunday, struggling through the week, then recovering in time to race again the following weekend. In this candid reflection, Earnhardt opens up for the first time about: The physical and emotional struggles he faced as he fought to close out his career on his own terms His frustration with the slow recovery from multiple racing-related concussions His admiration for the woman who stood by him through it all His determination to share his own experience so that others don’t have to suffer in silence Steering his way to the final checkered flag of his storied career proved to be the most challenging race and most rewarding finish of his life.
