Dial-a-Cab driver Steve Sharpe (F34) has long been known
among older DaC drivers as the man who could fix anything - on a
cab, that is! Many was the night on EC5 when you’d see Steve’s
legs poking out from underneath another driver’s cab or from
under the bonnet and solving yet another mechanical problem. Sadly for Steve, around 19 months ago he was taken ill and diagnosed with a bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. This meant that his diaphragm was working incorrectly and instead of opening in an up and down motion, it opened from side to side. His life was turned upside down. He was unable to do many of the things people take for granted - and that included driving. Just getting into the cab became an impossibility, let alone driving it. He just had no strength and couldn’t even put his car into first gear. Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis is a rare condition that if at all, comes after chest surgery. But Steve had not had anything like that for at least 40 years. He literally had a doze in an armchair and awoke to find himself suffering from this debilitating illness. Steve took every conventional medicine test there is and the consensus of opinion was that sadly, nothing could be done to help. His condition was continuing to deteriorate. For over 20 years, Steve has been a member of the National Federation of Spiritual Healing (NFSH) and also the Jewish Association of Spiritual Healers |

(JASH). He is respected healer who practises from
his home and who also makes hospital visits. He also found that
sending out healing messages while driving his cab helped
relieve the undoubted stress of driving a taxi in London. Sadly, he could never have predicted the bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis that hit him but Steve claims that while conventional medicine gave up on him, it has been spiritual healing that slowly but surely brought his life back from the brink and now, although not yet driving a cab, he can drive a car for up to two hours. When we met him, Complaints Officer Allan Evans was giving him a walking tour of Dial-a-Cab House. "Not too long ago, I’d never have managed it," Steve told us, "but thanks to the powers of healing, I did it with little problem. I’ve also managed to overhaul the |
cab myself! Believe me, that was something that no doctor would have said I could ever do again." Steve first realised he had healing powers in 1987, soon after his father-in-law passed away. He and his family visited a spiritualist church and while admitting that was a strange place for a Jewish family to visit – let alone to his complete shock, receive the message that he did – he went on to add that spiritual healing is non-religious. "It encompasses all religions and all faiths," he said, "it has no boundaries." Steve is heavily involved with the NFSH and JASH and in addition to healing himself, is still happy to send healing to anyone who needs it. Steve is not the only spiritualist healer that Dial-a-Cab has "produced", former Chairman Aubrey Siteman was also well known for his healing powers. |
