Please include Scriptural references to back it up. Thanks.

Do your own homework and use you’re own ideas…or can’t you understand the "scriptural references" you’re wanting other people to find???

There are no scriptural references specifically dealing with your question. But here are a few thoughts: one, Luke, who wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, was a doctor and I believe he used his medical skills as best he could. There is no scripture to prove or disprove this. Two, very few of the early believers had a medical background. Most were farmers, fishermen, or tradesmen/businessmen according to the records we do have. Third, I don’t know of many medical missionaries before the time of Dr. Hudson Taylor who combined medical skills with a passion to share the Gospel with the Chinese of his day. One story is told of how Dr. Taylor removed a cataract from the eye of a Chinese nobleman. Finally, disciplines such as anatomy & physiology were little known anyway, and besides, if I’m not mistaken, the doctors had to use the principles of Galen, whose knowledge was somewhat limited.
As for A&P these days, why not look at the websites of some of the missions agencies: http://www.sim.org, and others. Someone said God needs doctors as well as ministers, and I think that is so true. Besides, with a knowledge of A&P, you could do a lot more good than someone who doesn’t have such knowledge. I can find a piece of cloth and stop the bleeding, maybe, but as far as knowing what to do about the rest, I don’t have a clue.
