Almighty God,
Give me a deep curiosity about all your
creation. Move me to search and question. Give me insight
and understanding, A retentive memory And the patience
to ponder and reflect. May I not stop short with knowledge,
But proceed with the understanding of the heart: Wisdom
to view the world with the eyes of faith: Point out
the beginning, Direct the progress, Help the completion.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Dr. John Patrick retired from the University
of Ottawa in June 2002. He had been Associate Professor in
Clinical Nutrition in the Department of Biochemistry and Paediatrics
for twenty years. Dr. Patrick’s medical training was in London,
England. He has done extensive research into the treatment
of childhood nutritional deficiency and related diseases holding
appointments in Britain, the West Indies and Canada. He has
worked in Central Africa assisting in the development of training
programs that deal with childhood protein-energy malnutrition.
Dr. Patrick now lectures throughout the world
working for the Christian
Medical and Dental Society in Canada and the Christian
Medical and Dental Association in the United States.
He speaks frequently to Christian and secular groups and is
able to communicate effectively on moral issues in medicine
and culture and the integration of faith and science.
Dr. Patirck supports the Canadian
Registry of Hippocratic Physicians. The objective
of which is to provide a mechanism for identifying practitioners
who practice or are preparing to practice Hippocratic medicine,
and to bring together practitioners who have an ethical consensus.
It also enables practitioners to group together in order to
have more influence and impact in their practices, their hospitals,
and their communities.
Dr. Patrick is also pleased to lead a Summer
conference on The
Roots of Modern Medicine with other professors from
Augustine College.
The conference is geared towards the doctors and dentists
belonging to the CMDA and CMDS, who have commented on a need
to supplement their education in the liberal arts. Although
the conferences have been specifically so designed, we welcome
other medical professionals, students, and residents.
The dates of this year's Augustine College
Summer Programme (Module VIII - Late 20th Century) are May
31-June 6, 2009 :

Thomas Sydenham
17th Century

It becomes every man who purposes to
give himself to the care of others, seriously to consider
the four following things: First, that he must one day
give an account to the Supreme Judge of all the lives
entrusted to his care. Secondly, that all his skill,
and knowledge, and energy as they have been given him
by God, so they should be exercised for his glory, and
the good of mankind, and not for mere gain or ambition.
Thirdly, and not more beautifully than truly, let him
reflect that he has undertaken the care of no mean creature,
for, in order that he may estimate the value, the greatness
of the human race, the only begotten Son of God became
himself a man, and thus ennobled it with his divine
dignity, and far more than this, died to redeem it.
And fourthly, that the doctor being himself a mortal
man, should be diligent and tender in relieving his
suffering patients, inasmuch as he himself must one
day be a like sufferer.

History and Cure of Acute Diseases, 1668
