Today's witness was found online. Someone close to me is having some issues with his heart and so I wanted to find a healing story that had to do with the heart. When we can hear that others have been healed of a similar thing that we are praying for then our faith is built up that we or our loved ones will be healed too. Today I am sharing the story of David and what happened when he went to the doctor for his heart.I pray this story gives you hope that God will answer your prayers too! Here is his story in his own words.I don't know if you have personally experienced a miraculous healing, but I have. I was fifty-six years old, and every Friday afternoon that autumn, I worked out with a trainer. Like many personal trainers, Vileka Fisher started each session by checking my weight and blood pressure. Some variations are normal. My blood pressure, however, climbed for seven weeks straight, topping out at 203/143. At that point, she fired me. Literally.“I'm not going to have you die on me,” Vileka told me. “You have to go to your doctor immediately.” In turn, Dr. Guesly Dessieux quickly ordered two sets of tests. The next day, they took extensive, continuous images of my heart at rest. The following day, they took extensive, continuous images of my heart after a lengthy and very fast-paced run on an industrial-sized treadmill.The Dreaded Post-Exam Phone CallOn Friday, October 23, 2015, I received the proverbial day-after phone call. On Tuesday, October 27, I met with my “new best friend,” interventional cardiologist Dr. Barath Krishnamurthy, to find out how extensively my heart was damaged and what next steps were ahead for both of us. The damage to the front middle and front lower-right areas of my heart, he said, was significantly worse than expected for a man my age.Dr. Krishnamurthy scheduled me to report to Salem Hospital as soon as possible. He said he would start with an angiogram. If the damage wasn't too severe, he planned to insert stents. Then again, if the damage was severe, he planned to perform double bypass surgery.“When would you do that bypass surgery?” I asked, feeling more anxious and nervous than I'd felt in a long time.“Right then and there,” he replied. “There's no time to waste. You could have a heart attack any day.”That last comment wasn't reassuring, but he had my attention!Afterward, I remembered how good it is that we can thank God daily for His sovereignty (greatness), providence (goodness and guidance), holiness (glory), love (graciousness), and mystery (“God alone knows”).Most of the time during those next few days, I was prayerful and at peace. Then again, I couldn't forget Dr. Krishnamurthy's comments that recovery from an angiogram and stents would take a few days. Recovery from double bypass surgery, though, could take six to eight weeks, maybe longer.By phone, Facebook, and e-mail, my wife (Renée) and I asked those close to us to pray for a routine, boring, and ultimately successful angiogram.A couple of hours after checking into Salem Hospital on November 5, 2015, I was wheeled into surgery. According to plan, I lost consciousness shortly after meeting the five members of my cardiologist's team.Miraculous News Came after SurgeryWhen I woke up in recovery, my cardiologist walked in looking stunned. “This never happens,” he said. “You heart looks great. I couldn't find any damage anywhere. Not even plaque.” It rarely happens, he explained, that two separate days of radioactive imaging would clearly, and yet incorrectly, show substantive damage in two separate areas of the heart.Bottom line: no damage, no stents, and no double bypass surgery.Renée was quick to call it a miracle. When I confided that I wasn't ready to use that word, she asked why. “Well, I had just woken up in recovery. What if I misunderstood what Dr. Krishnamurthy told me?”On November 25, I returned to Salem Cardiovascular to meet with my cardiologist. He had been called away for an emergency heart procedure and asked one of his associates, Masen Martin, to meet with me. I explained the purpose of my visit. Then I told Masen (as she prefers to be called) that when Dr. Krishnamurthy talked with me in recovery, he looked pretty much stunned.“Stunned?” she exclaimed. “You were the surprise of the year!”She paused and then went on. “Frankly, it left all of us here pretty rattled. The imaging is proof positive that you needed either stents or double bypass surgery. But the angiogram imaging a few days later is proof positive that your heart has absolutely no damage anywhere. Not even a trace of plaque anywhere in or around your heart.” I had the heart of a teenager again. Medically and scientifically, that's not supposed to be possible.In other words, Renée was right. It truly was a miracle. Then again, it was a miracle that caught me by surprise. Yes, hundreds prayed, but not for this outcome.Louise the Prayer Warrior and Her God-Sized PrayersThat next Sunday, November 29, a super quiet, very introverted, yet lovely older friend of mine named Louise came up to me before church. I was talking with the oldest member of our congregation when Louise walked up, smiling from ear to ear. Radiating pure joy, she said, “It was me!” I didn't know what she meant, so I didn't say a word.Louise told me, “I was the one who prayed for your complete heart healing. I even asked God to prove it was a miracle because they couldn't find even one speck of plaque anywhere in your heart.”I felt like jumping up and giving Louise a big hug, but I simply said, “Thank you! Thank you so much!” with a huge smile on my face.Later that day, though, I wrestled with two tough and troubling questions: Why could Louise pray that God-sized prayer and fully expect Him to answer? And why didn't I pray for my own heart healing?My prayer of faith that afternoon has been life-changing: “Lord, please help me to pray like Louise. It's scary, and I don't know why that is, but I want to learn how to pray God-sized prayers like her.”After this experience, God's grace became much more real and powerful to me. I was and am deeply grateful to God and my dear friend, Louise. Since then, I have been empowered by God and determined to positively impact other lives by sharing my experience and encouraging others to pray more boldly. I tell this story wherever I'm invited to speak. I also take time to pray for and keep in touch with audience members who request prayer for healing.Yes, sometimes I'm nervous. Sometimes I wonder, “Who am I to pray in this way for this person's healing?” Then I remember Louise and seek to pray a God-sized prayer the way she would. I then stay in touch to find out what God does. The results have been amazing! There is no question in my mind that we can stand on God's promises and expect miracles.Thank you, David, for sharing your story with the world so that we can all see the miraculous powers of the Lord at work in the world. Thank you for learning to pray God-size prayers. Thank you for being brave and praying those God-sized prayers over your audience and over those you meet. The world needs more people brave enough to pray God-sized prayers! I pray blessings on your ministry and I pray that God will answer your God sized prayers in Jesus's name, Amen! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE FOR RETREAT INFOCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. In our first news, Bayer shares fell by 20% after a study monitors halted a planned 18,000-person trial of its experimental blood thinner drug due to "inferior efficacy" compared to Eliquis. Bristol Myers is also facing a delay from the FDA on a decision regarding its cancer cell therapy. Astrazeneca has created a digital health unit called Evinova to tap into the growing market for digital health solutions. And fewer biotech companies are going public, but Carmot Therapeutics has filed plans to go public in hopes of capitalizing on investor interest in obesity medicines. Janet Woodcock, a top FDA official, will retire early next year after 37 years with the agency.Moving on to our second news, the Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit to block John Muir Health's acquisition of Tenet Hospital, claiming it would reduce competition and increase prices. Mass General Brigham is being sued after potential exposure to HIV and hepatitis at Salem Hospital. Nurses and medical professionals are planning a five-day strike at HCA facilities in southern California. On the other hand, Novant Health plans to buy three Tenet hospitals in South Carolina for $2.4 billion. Telehealth is also highlighted as a growing trend for routine and mental healthcare.Next up, Bayer's investigational factor XIA inhibitor was found to be inferior to Pfizer and BMS' blood thinner Eliquis in a Phase III study. The UK's National Health Service has reached a new deal with pharmaceutical companies that doubles the annual allowed growth in sales of branded medicines. Carmot Therapeutics is planning to make its debut on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Servier is considering filing for FDA approval for its glioma candidate vorasidenib.Lastly, Biohaven aims to develop a novel drug called taldefgrobep alfa that can treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) as well as trim fat and build lean muscle mass in obese individuals. Clinical trial diversity has decreased, prompting companies to refine their diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies. The development of new drugs that can address multiple health issues simultaneously shows promise for improving patient outcomes and expanding treatment options.These developments highlight the challenges faced by pharmaceutical companies in developing new drugs and the importance of partnerships between healthcare systems and industry players to advance research and improve patient outcomes.That's all for today's episode of Pharma and Biotech Daily. Stay tuned for more updates.

And rising costs have led to one of the worst financial quarters of the pandemic so far for some hospitals. Becky Hultberg, CEO of the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, joins us, along with Cheryl Wolfe, CEO of Salem Hospital.

The Context of White Supremacy Gus T. Renegade joined the millions who committed time and energy to observe the "Great American Eclipse" of 2017. The historic solar event spanned the width of North America; this region won't witness another solar eclipse until 2024. Gus T. traveled to Salem, Oregon to catch the totality of the eclipse. Context of White Supremacy listeners should remember in 2013, a black Salem Hospital employee, Dau Tucker, had a bullet left on her desk and was told "leave nigger or die" on Dr. Martin Luther King's holiday. Gus will share a few of his observations from his time in Oregon's capital. Whites coordinated and globetrotted thousands of miles to study this event. They tracked the animals, the heavens and the traffic for this much ballyhooed event. Alice Ristroph writes this cosmic episode "has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people." #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943#
The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Mrs. Dau Tucker. Tucker has a black parent and a Vietnamese parent. She was born in North Carolina and is a Human Resources Representative for Salem Hospital in Oregon. Tucker has been habitually harassed and terrorised in the state of Oregon. On Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 2013 holiday, a White Supremacist left a bullet on Tucker's desk with a massive note saying, "LEAVE NIGGER OR DIE!" She remarked that before the abuse, she never thought of herself as being "different" (not White); now she feels that nothing else about her matters to Racists; they only see her as a Nigger. #TheCOWS4Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
In our May issue, we celebrate Nurses Week with this podcast on a program at Salem Hospital called Nurses Give Back. These projects addressed access to care and community health improvement activities (such as vaccination drives) and community building (working with Habitat for Humanity, for instance). Some were designed to provide money and in-kind contributions to chosen charities. Other projects benefited patients during hospitalization, such as the “Clothing Closet,” which is stocked by the staff and offers items to homeless and low-income patients.
