Description
Wilbur Curtis Lewis was a distinguished surgeon, missionary, and ordained minister. He was a charter member, founder, past president, and active member of the Baptist Medical-Dental Fellowship as well and an active civic leader. A member of teh Christian Medical and Dental Association, he served that organization as a medical lecturer, both nationally and internationally, and as a member of the House of Delegates for two terms. His notable deeds of benevolence around the world resulted in his being knighted by the ecumenical division of the Knights of Malta in October 1993.Dr. Lewis illustrious career was cut short by a skiing accident on December 27, 1993. He wrote, "I am a general surgeon who was a medical missionary for ten years in Paraguay and in private practice in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for twenty-three years. My life suddenly changed in a few seconds from a life care provider to a life care recipient.The account of that tragedy which made him a ventilator-dependent quadriplegic with its consequences for the last eleven years of his life creates the text presented here in the Valley of the Shadow.
