DENVER, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "Miracles We Have Seen - America's Leading Physicians Share Stories They Can't Forget." Edited by Harley A. Rotbart, M.D. and published by HCI Books, the famed publisher of the original Chicken Soup for the Soul series, the book is a collection of 85 extraordinary essays written by renowned specialists in virtually every field of medicine. The essays recount, in moving everyday language, clinical events which stunned the physicians and everyone else involved – impossible cures, breathtaking resuscitations, extraordinary awakenings, spectacular serendipities, and recovery from unimaginable disasters. Still other physicians wrote of experiences in which the miracle was more emotional than physical, yet also left a lasting imprint. Doctors sharing in gut-wrenching decisions made by patients and families, and then in the resulting joy—or heartbreak. Discovering a silver lining of forgiveness or resilience, a child’s wisdom or a family’s generosity of spirit, which evoked salvation and triumph in the face of sadness and tragedy.

The book has been endorsed by, among many others: Bestselling medical writers Jerome Groopman, M.D. and Perri Klass, M.D.; Archbishop of New York Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan; Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People; Dr. Bernard Lown, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and Founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility; Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul; Dr. Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the U.S.; the heads of major charitable foundations including the Bishop Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and The Arnold P. Gold Foundation; and the Presidents or Past Presidents of virtually every major medical organization (AMA, AAP, AAFP, APA, ACOG, ACP).
