This volume is the life story of medicine and ministry-a life lived in medical work in Bahrain as the first doctor trained as an internist at the American Mission Hospital. Corine examines the transitions in the state of Bahrain, the state of medicine, and her own growth, both spiritually and medically in a joyous story of a life lived in service to others from 1964 through the first Gulf War into the dawn of the twenty-first century. Corine's theme is on changes-transitions-in society, in the world of medicine, and in her own life. This volume is a fascinating account of the changing world of medicine and its daily application in the society of the Arabian Gulf. Corine served as a medical missionary for the Reformed Church in America.
