I always find these stories oddly funny yet appalling.
It's like a family I saw on the news a few weeks ago. The daughter was in a car accident and was in critical condition and hospitalized for weeks. The family prayed and miraculously, their prayers were answered. She made a recovery! They thanked God and all was well.
Except they forgot the people that gave their daughter around the clock medical treatment, life support, and general care. This kind of thing irks me.
On another forum I frequent, a father of a member was diagnosed with cancer, and the person was asking to keep him in prayer. I told the member that what their father needed was medical advice and treatment, not strangers wishing for you to be all right. Go to a fucking hospital and stop with the bullshit.
