The case confessions of a pastoral visitor.
When a bungled catheterization following surgery causes a life-threatening hemorrhage, this Lutheran minister and hospital chaplain finds himself on the receiving end of professional pastoral care. Regretting the times in offered "Gospel platitudes and sugar-coated Bible verses" to suffering patients, the author finds that his experience has brought him closer to God's presence and made him a better minister.
