Hear Our Cry Aletha W Tippett

Hear Our Cry is about a twenty-year journey of this physician through the world of wounds, amputations, and limb salvage, always trying to serve and show compassion. This book has been a dream, wanting to tell the story of wounds and amputation and how they can be treated and healed. The idea started when confronted with the horror and desperate grief of amputation. It seemed to be a hidden problem, not easily seen or understood by others, something that was happening behind closed doors. Most of the people lived in nursing homes or hospice, not seen outside the rooms they lived in. It is Hear Our Cry, because the people living this horror are crying out, begging to be heard.
