H.G.B. Hallock wrote about a woman who was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in New York City during the 1930s. Evidently a fight erupted between her and her husband. As the fight escalated and became more intense, the husband grabbed a knife and plunged it into her heart. The attending physician observed that the knife had probably punctured the heart and proceeded to enlarge the wound in order to attempt to repair the damage by closing the cut. It was a delicate operation and took hours of intense work on the part of the operating staff. It appeared to be a complete success for the first few days. As time progressed something began to turn sour. Though physically repaired the heart was broken by an irreparable wound that was deeper than the knife's blade. She determined not to get well and began to slump into a coma. The coma became her death sleep as she died within a couple of days.
Hallock wrote, "Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and his healing power is great enough to accomplish this wonderful spiritual operation. He is in truth 'the Great Physician.' "
