Jer Master was an Indian pediatrician who left medicine to pursue the study of Christian Science.
For more than two decades, Master worked in the field of medicine, both in private practice and as a professor of pediatrics at the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai, India.
Master said that in addition, a return to Cornell University Medical Center in New York,[3] where she had done postdoctoral research proved pivotal.
Finding herself recognizing some of the young patients from more than a decade earlier, (with her notes still in their files), she found their lives sad and the state of medicine to be "so futile".
[1] Master said she was cured of bouts of severe migraine headaches after reading the first chapter of Science and Health.
