Complete healing without stitches
One evening, I badly injured one of my fingers, and the bleeding was profuse. I bandaged the finger, but the incident left me a bit shaken. I phoned a friend for prayer and support, and the following morning, I contacted a Christian Science practitioner, who agreed to give me Christian Science treatment. I was so grateful for the help given. I don’t recall feeling any pain throughout this experience.
In prayer, I pondered references to the phrase “knit together” in the Bible. I also asked a Christian Science nurse (someone who is trained to give nonmedical, practical care while supporting the individual’s choice to rely on prayer for healing) how to properly bandage the wound. The finger began to heal. Then one day my cousin caught sight of the wound and remarked that I should have gotten stitches.
