The Doctor and the Psychic - Paperback

by Leon E. Curry M. D. (Author)

Leon E. Curry, MD was one of the first physicians to treat children with ADHD in 1969, and developed Georgia's first rural dialysis center in 1973. But none of his scientific training prepared him for an encounter that changed his life in 1975. A friend told him of a plus-sized housewife in rural Illinois who was struck by lightning and began exhibiting psychic abilities. Dr. Curry immediately berated his friend for believing in such nonsense. On a dare, he called Greta Alexander on the phone. She asked, "What do you have to do with airplanes?" His surprised answer: "I just got out of one." His curiosity led to more phone calls. More phone calls led to a visit, which led to some of the first controlled experiments using psychic diagnosis. Greta could look at a patient's handprint and describe their esophagus, liver, or lungs - even when the patient was seven states away In The Doctor and the Psychic, Dr. Curry makes a powerful argument for continued study of this under-explored field.
