While the modern science of medicine often seems nothing short of
miraculous, religion still plays an important role in the past and
present of many hospitals. When three-quarters of Americans believe
that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of
survival by their doctors, how do today's technologically
sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and
faith? Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors,
and chaplains across the United States and close observation of
their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major
academic medical institutions to explore how today's doctors and
hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and
spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue,
hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how
religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways.
In Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, Cadge shifts
attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and
spirituality should play a role in health care and back to the many
ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare
today.
