We do not go into the medical profession to save lives, but to serve God. Whether our patients live or die, we will be glorifying Him when we are relying on Him as our only Source of wisdom. If we are surgeons, we trust that God will guide our hands. We remember that the power to save a life is never placed within our grasp for even a moment. It is God who saves lives, and we surrender the hands He gave us to be instruments that honor Him. When patients recover and people applaud us, we see their praise as the misdirected thing it is and we give God all the glory in our hearts.

If it's God who does the healing, why doesn't He descent onto Earth and does the healing personally? Why does He need a vessel to do so? I'd say that makes him one crappy doctor.

Then you are not a doctor and need to turn in your medical license immediately.

So you don't need medical school?

If you don't care about saving lives and prefer to fallate some desert god, get a job as a priest, not a surgeon. Leave the doctoring to people who study and train for decades. Not some wacko who thinks talking to the clouds is enough prep work for a surgery. Oh, and thanks for making me terrified of getting surgery.
Wait, wait, wait. "We?" This person is an actual, certified, working doctor? In an actual HOSPITAL? Which one, so I can make sure to never end up there?

How wise is it to let patients die? I really hope Anna isn't a practicing physician, because she seems pretty cavalier about whether her patients make it or not. I wouldn't even see her for a runny nose.

If God is so great, why does anyone need a doctor in the first place? If he's really so great, then he should heal illness just by prayer alone.
If I used god as my only source of wisdom in my medical profession I would cause alot of people to die.
You hear that surgeons! You didn't need to go to medical school! All you need to do is say "Jebus take mah hand" and close your eyes and start cutting. Yes that will be fine.
It is people like you who make me wish I had gone to medical school so I could be an abortion provider.
Also, my dad is a surgeon. He is also an atheist.
Is this blatantly sociopathic, sadistic, fatalistic, tactless, spiteful, monster who shits on the ideas of mercy or kidness claiming to be a physician?
@Elie:
In all due fairness, it is wiser to sometimes let patients die if they have no hope of recovery and any treatment would just prolong suffering. "Do not resuscitate" is sometimes a valid choice.
I agree, but the way Anna is talking, if a patient dies on the table then it was just God's will, too bad so sad, call it a day.
"It is God who saves lives,"
But it's doctors that repair the bodies.
Hopefully this idiot never ever goes to a doctor again and instead relies on her worthless faith.
So it was God that caused all those millions of amputees to regrow back their lost limbs all through human history! Nah, I'm just fucking with you. That has never happened, ever, and never will. Because your god doesn't exist.
Ok ass hole, here's what we do:
Infect you and me both with flesh eating bacteria
Sound fair? No? Then you lack faith and should shut the fuck up
"We do not go into the medical profession to save lives, but to serve God."
Well maybe YOU do, but I trust most doctors actually have their priorities straight. It makes me wonder how you still have a medical license.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
