A Catholic saint for every medical condition (Part 2 of 7)

My recent episode of ill health inspired me to research the canonized Roman Catholic saints who specialize in particular health issues.  It was great to know that not only do Catholics have saints for every occupation, but for every medical need as well.  May this list be helpful to you in finding the spiritual intercession you need for your case.
