![]() Written by a Christian named John, the contents of the book indicate quite clearly that the author was not the John who was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, for it contains no direct personal references of the type that one would expect from an intimate associate of Jesus. Our model bridges the left and right - the social justice of caring for the poor alongside the insured while also being pro-life in all aspects of reproductive health without abortion and sterilization.The Gospel of John is the latest-written of the four biographies of Jesus that have been preserved in the New Testament. We are in demand as an OB/GYN practice and as a leader in excellent women’s health. Now is our time at Divine Mercy Care and Tepeyac OB/ GYN to show the world that there is another way. The medical establishment has operated with abortion on demand for 50 years. The Dobbs decision is a pivotal moment for the pro-life movement and for medicine. ![]() I made the transition from the exam room to my new role as President of Divine Mercy Care, providentially, just as Roe v Wade was overturned by the U.S. It was a year that took me away from seeing patients at Tepeyac and took me out of my comfort zone, with an autoimmune condition that disturbed my balance, strength and focus, and a heart block that required a pacemaker. The year 2022 at Divine Mercy Care began early and ended late for me… so typical for an OB/GYN. You can order your copy from Ignatius Press here. I pray that my story blesses you in a small way. I want medical students to know that they can do what I did and walk away from the medical status quo. I want others to know that they are not beyond the Lord’s mercy and there is healing after abortion and regret. I wrote my story down so that others might know the same joy that I’ve found in Christ and in practicing life-affirming medicine. I grew dedicated to practicing an approach to reproductive medicine that respects female fertility, honors the dignity of unborn children, and offers care to patients regardless of their financial situation. ![]() I knew I was called to practice-life affirming medicine and start Tepeyac OB/GYN and Divine Mercy Care. I wondered if I had been practicing a double standard in medicine.Īfter an incredible spiritual experience and returning to my Catholic faith, I decided to leave abortions, birth control, and IVF behind for good. The neonatologist sternly told me to stop treating her patients like tumors and reminded me I have two patients to care for. I called the NICU to resuscitate the baby we intended to abort who was born alive and weighed just over a pound. I was trying to save a baby in one room and abort a baby of the same gestational age in the next room at a hospital in Norfolk, Virginia when things didn’t go as planned. I wanted to serve women and be the very best doctor I could be, and I thought that meant giving women what they wanted–even if it was an abortion. Some of you know that I regrettably performed abortions in the late ’80s during the first two years of my residency. I am proud to announce the release of my book, Two Patients: My Conversion from Abortion to Life-Affirming Medicine (Ignatius Press).
