book:New moon
page:chapter 2
summary:
Bella's wound and the smell of blood coming from her is too much for the family to bear. Everyone leaves the house for air, except for Carlisle, who, as a surgeon for many years, is not as affected as the others. It is convenient that he stays behind because Bella is injured, and he is able to give her stitches without having to take her to the hospital.
As Carlisle pulls glass out of Bella's arm and sews her up, he explains to Bella why he decided to become a doctor when being around blood was so hard for a vampire. Carlisle admits that it has to do with faith. His father was a clergyman, and therefore, very religious. And although Carlisle's view of religion has changed, he still hangs on to
