Blessings and Sudden Intimacies by
Greg Stidham, M.D. is a beautiful gift, not only for medical professionals but
for everyone who cares about humanity. In this book, readers follow the
thoughts and experiences of a Pediatric Intensivist, Dr. Greg Stidham, as he
looks back through a career of thirty years. This is a book that assembles the
author's experiences and they offer a whole new meaning to the word “encounter.”
The author writes about moments with parents of children, young patients,
health workers, and more. From heartwarming moments to sharing grief, the
author brings to life stories from both personal and professional life in this
book.
From his encounter with patients to
the sudden crisis in his marriage, Greg Stidham lifts the veil of our humanity
to show readers how seemingly ordinary encounters can be blessings. He is great
at capturing human emotions, from looking at parents fretting because their
child is in a critical condition to receiving news that one's wife is suicidal.
This is a book that will illuminate the hearts of readers, and it is
interesting to see how the author shares his world with them, bringing to them
stories that will inspire and characters they will want to hug. Blessings and Sudden Intimacies is a
collection of real stories; they are delightful and infused with humanity, in
turns humorous and focused. I enjoyed the beautiful prose and the author's
economy of words. This book entertains and yet makes readers think of what they
make of their encounters with others. Stidham illustrates with these stories
that we can always look past the brokenness of the humanity of others to
discover well-springs of life, hope, and happiness.
