Prompt healing of shattered bones

I was a commercial fisherman some years ago when I experienced an accident that led to a Christian Science healing.

I was tying a line around a wooden pole to secure the stern of the boat as we were preparing to dock. As I was passing the rope behind the pole, the boat smashed into the pole, pinning my hand between the pole and the metal bulkhead behind it. Immediately my hand began to swell up and turn black and blue.

Upon seeing this, I immediately started to know the Truth about my hand as I continued to perform my duties. The captain had witnessed what happened and wanted to take me to the hospital. That was unusual for this captain, as he normally expected you to work through the pain of almost any injury.

On the way to the hospital, the demonstration was already happening as I had time to work with Science. At the hospital they took X-rays, which showed bones in three of my fingers had breaks and shatters. The hospital put my fingers into splints and issued me a prescription. I never filled the prescription.

The next day I went back to work with a lot of discomfort in my hand. Within three days my hand was still sensitive to heavy impact but was doing much better. Within a week my hand was completely healed.

I don’t recall the specifics of how I worked, but there were two aspects of this healing—the captain’s care and concern for me and the time in which the healing occurred. I have much gratitude for Christian Science.
