In my thesis I describe the calling I felt to become a hospital chaplain. At greater length, I share the experiential foundation—stories of the most consequential trauma cases I was involved in, the patients involved, their families, and my family—upon which the whole of my memoir (including my lapse into PTSD, my crisis of faith, and my journey toward healing) will stand.186 pagesen-USThis work is restricted for 10 years from the date listed above.
