As long as you were the one who initiated that as part of your doctor/patient relationship, I see no problem, either! But, I once had a doc who gave me a laundry list of instructions that ended with "And pray..." I didn't say anything but did post about it on this forum. I was somewhat put-off by it.
I'm fine with a doctor telling patients they are praying for them and that they are Christians, for me that's info I want to know. If they tell someone to pray for themselves they should at least know if that patient is a believer or not. If it happens again with a doctor just politely tell her/him you do not believe and go on with your life from there. I'm sure the doctor's intentions were good but a little presumptive.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
