tiki Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I'm not surprised. I can't blame them. The doctor I work for doesn't practice any religion and doesn't even really believe in God, although he was raised in Catholic school by the nuns. He had a malparactice lawsuit a couple of weeks ago that he won. He said he knew there was a God after he won the lawsuit. He said he prayed to God (which he does, but rarely) and that his prayers were answered. I think more docs should incorporate prayer and healing into the plan for the patient's recovery. Could make a world of difference IMO.
d'Arthez Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 And roughly 1 in 6 people in Western Europe believe that the sun revolves around the earth. Interesting to see what the stat would be for the US population. The point is?
alphamale Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 so what? most docs also believe in having affairs with their nurses and med assistants.
moimeme Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Most Americans believe in god. Big deal. Remember that g*d is also God, as is Allah.
UCFKevin Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 A study was released today that most dentists drink some water on a daily basis.
UCFKevin Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 It was reported today on CNN that people eat at McDonalds.
tiki Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Please cite sources. This information is simply astounding.

If you don't believe in God, that's OK. But I feel better talking to a Doctor or Counselor who is a believer.
d'Arthez Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I would chose for the non-believing doctor if you are a believer. In case of a malpractice suit, he would not have a God to answer his prayers, thus increasing the likelihood that you would win your case. Probability-mathematics CIOC. As used by Pascal in his famous argument.

alphamale Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Originally posted by ConfusedInOC The probability of finding a Doctor who is a believer is good. but what if the doc believes in the wrong "God", or the wrong dogma, or the wrong religious belief system. then would you go to him or her for your medical care??

Or worse. What if the doctor says to their God "Please don't let me F up this one too." before he/she puts you to sleep.

UCFKevin Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 What if the doctor believes in God, but the only thing they're afraid of is Keyzer Soze?
BrotherAaron Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 So do you think doctors who don't believe in god are less capable of being doctors?

Marshbear Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I don't understand the people in this post. COC believes in God and wants to say something about his faith. Those people who disagree may do so but you do not need to try to belittle someone just because they believe. I don't see COC trying to belittle the non-believers. Peace...
Tony Posted June 23, 2005 Senior Moderators Posted June 23, 2005 All I want is a doctor that God believes in!
