YALE UNIVERSITY CUSHING/WHITNEY MEDICAL LIBRARY Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2017 with funding from Arcadia Fund https://archive.org/details/stolestethoscopeOOhall Stole and Stethoscope: A Survey of Physician Clergy Ordained in the Episcopal Church A Thesis Submitted to the Yale University School of Medicine in partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine by Daniel Emerson Hall 1999 VAIF MPnip*! (iRSiRY ii WANTED, for a family who have bad health, a sober, steady person, in the capacity of doctor, surgeon, apothecary, and man- midwife: he must occasionally act in the capacity of butler, and dress hair and wigs: He will be required to read prayers occasionally, and a sermon every Sunday evening. The reason for this advertisement is, that the family cannot any longer afford the expences of the physical tribe, and wish to be at a certain expence. A good salary will be given. N.B. He will have liberty to turn a penny in any branch of his profession when not wanted in the family. {Bath Chronicle, Thursday, March 20 1777, reprinted in Lancet 2:985-986, Nov 15, 1952) Yes, it is possible to integrate the two vocations of medicine and ordained ministry, “ but it requires a willingness to share two worlds with colleagues who will not fully understand you. It requires a great acceptance of ambiguity. It is easy to get lost in activity and problem solving so prayer and some quiet are critical. It is a great life, but you can't take yourself too seriously.” —Anonymous Episcopal Physician Priest, 1996
