Cross-cultural Medicine - II

Today, I "fit-in" with the Hungarians...for the most part...in my visit to the hospital for blood test and EKG before my procedure tomorrow. I arrived and was number 6 in line for getting my blood drawn; the woman about freaked out when she saw I was a foreigner, asking me how I intended to pay...and I had to explain to her that I am a resident, I work here, and pay taxes and am covered by the Hungarian medical program. This greatly relieved her. Drawing blood took about 5 minutes total.

EKG was an interesting adventure. That took about 2 minutes, and I was out of the hospital. I looked at my watch as I walked out of the hospital and the entire "ordeal" took one and a half hours; doing the math lets you know just how much time I spent waiting. That's what life here is like...waiting...waiting...

I was thinking if God would call me to my Beloved Home Country and my little Paris to Szeged again, to spread the real good news, than....

...Evangelisation in the Stadium, than they call for emergency for fire the ambulance, for all the people, and would be approx 800 or more thousand people together, than would be so imbarrassing if the American "missionary" would take off first, not the people...imbarrassing..isn't?

...think Arden think...




(many good english teacher for the living...foreign working, far far away from Christ heart....)



Mother Theresa:

"...It hurt Jesus to love us. We have been created in His image for greater things, to love and to be loved. We just "put on Christ" as Scripture tells us. And so, we have been created to love as He loves us. Jesus makes Himself the hungry one, the naked one, the homeless one, the unwanted one, and He says, "You did it unto Me." On the last day He will say to those on His right, "whatever you did to the least of these, you did to Me, and He will also say to those on His left, whatever you neglected to do for the least of these, you neglected to do it for Me..."

Hope Arden you will read Mother Theresa's life REAL " Missionary " Christ like character, also maybe a Bible gift for the doctor would be proper to thank him.....not the wine..hmhm....what you think?



...think Arden think...





...I hope the nice American "Missionaries" will not have Hungarian "...Indian reservations later..."




Final notes from real player:

I hope you ok Arden!!!
the Lord comfort you with His Love blanket and with His Mercy!

I am very proud of you Arden, because, you was very brave@kidneystory
