All my siblings and I were born in the LDS hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho from 1950-1968. Every surgery we had was done in the very same hospital except my sister's open heart surgery that was done at Primary Childrens in the fall of 1968. I remember when the church closed the hospital which stood next door to the temple. My mom also acquired a brick from the hospital when it was torn down and replaced with a stake center. They had a underground tunnel that connected the hospital to the temple. It was used during medical emergencies in the temple. The hospital was also were my father and grandfather passed away when I was a child. I kinda understand why the church got out of many businesses that they were doing. There was a lot of pushback from government and outsiders that resented the church. The church had started the businesses to provide for the welfare of the saints. My dad and many other saints worked in the sugar factories from Southeastern Idaho all the way south to Arizona. It wasnt the only busy venture the church had. It was how many generations of members survived in those early years of the church.

I was born there as well. I grew up in the LDS 7th ward which also included the Temple and Hospital areas. I was sad to see the Hospital gone. The Stake center replaced the church building I attended most of my youth. The NIF Stake center had a ballroom upstairs which was a unique. It was also taken down and turned into a DI, etc. When I come back there occasionally, I miss seeing those parts of my life.

I taught English in Tonga 21 years ago. My husband was Tongan and it was a good opportunity to take my whole family and live there for 3 years. There were doctors that would come from America for a month at a time and do health-care there. One time we had a dentist who sold his practice in the US, bought dental supplies to bring with him, and lived to Tonga for 6 months, doing free dental work the whole time. His children went to the local schools and learned first hand about life in an undeveloped country. Everybody was blessed.

I'm sorry to hear this, Grant! I continue to experience SO many disappointments with the church; however, I focus on the continuing SO abundant good that IS done, knowing the church (and me) has yet a long way to go before Zion will be possible in every, or any, stake. I'd like the church to stand against divorce, the way it did 50 and more years ago, and follow the New Testament law and teachings on marriage, for starters among many things! I think it's sad and shameful when churches we know are apostate doctrinally "outperform" us in any major moral position, such as the Catholic Church still standing against divorce, etc.

Will BYU medical school and students make room for medicine men of the Native American walks of life and learn alternative medical practices?

I learned that in order to be accredited, this medical school, as other religiously founded medical schools (such as those by Adventists and Jesuits) aren’t required to provide everything in the same way that other medical schools must. Adventist and Jesuit medical schools aren’t required to have their students observe an abortion, but must instruct on current abortion procedures. Therefore, when it comes to transgender surgery, it’s likely that it would be discussed, but not a requirement to observe. Also, this is a medical school and not a hospital; no surgeries will be performed there.

Many lives have been saved by natural means where the medical field failed. Balance

Yeees!! The part she missed in her journalism, is that there were many who were sent to medical universities so that they could learn what was being taught so they knew would know how to combat it. There were already herbalists who knew what worked for many illnesses - Preddy Meeks was sent by Brigham Young to learn about the local plants from the Ute Indians (Native Americans). The Counsel of Health was for learning about herbs. The Book Joseph Smith and Herbal Medicine has many stories of how they wanted to break away from what was being taught during that day.

The church also has the directive in D&C 58:26-29 that we shouldn't wait to be commanded in all things but should actively do many good things of our own agency. I recently read but haven't yet verified that Brigham Young was never explicitly commanded to build the Salt Lake Temple; the saints, simply, had already been commanded to build temples in four places they had already gathered.... Using ordinary intelligence, Brigham knew he didn't have to wait for another command to continue to build temples. You're, by far, not the first person I've heard express exactly what you wrote, but I'm calling ignorance and horse manure-that what you've said is NOT the way we or the church are supposed to work. Going only by command is akin to stopping with the law of Moses and never getting to where Jesus went when He healed a woman on the Sabbath, dined and taught in the houses of publicly known serious sinners and "went about doing good" (Acts 10:38). Sorry for the harshness of my words, but I have strong feelings on your/others' skew idea I keep seeing repeat itself!
