Healing Ernest Johnson, MD
Ernest Johnson broke many records.
No other physician was ever employed by
the Ohio State Medical School as long as he (62 years).
Physicians at his memorial service spoke
of his boundless compassion, his irrepressible
humor, great generosity, infinite zeal, the very short distance between his
visualzing a problem and his working on the solution. He
made each he contacted feel like the most important
person in the world.
He was one of the first workers for handicap access
at OSU, one of many areas of patient rights for which he worked.
He counseled his 300 residents never to extinguish
hope in a patient, never to use the phrase 'wheelchair
confined'. He referred to wheelchairs as liberators.
He was a tireless and brilliant doctor whose international
renown began when he invented numerous devices
to ease the pain of polio victims
As a member of the admissions board for the OSU medical school
he hoped palmistry would be used as one tool in recognizing
healers.
He had the gift of laying on of the hands, transmitting healing with
his touch.
Later in life he began to
recommend vegetarian diet to some, vegan diet to others.
Thank you God for lending him to us.
