Spinal meningitis healed

Charles O'Gorman

One day when I was 15 years old, I got a headache that grew progressively worse. My dad, who was not a Christian Scientist, called a physician, who told him to have me take two aspirins and call him in the morning. As I was in so much pain, I asked my mom to call a Christian Science practitioner. The last thing I remember before losing consciousness was asking her, “Did you call a practitioner?” and hearing her say, “Yes.”

Shortly after that, I went into a coma and was rushed to a hospital, where I was diagnosed as having a severe case of spinal meningitis. The doctors did not expect me to live. However, my mom continued working with the practitioner, until one day I woke up with all faculties and functions normal. This seemed to make quite a stir among the doctors. Several came to see me, and I remember one asking, “How did you do that?” On finding out that I was a Christian Scientist, they acknowledged that a healing had indeed taken place.
