They'll also point to the statistical anomalies that have had their conditions disappear/subside in a "miraculous" way as proof of their god healing people.
This.
The number of times I've heard "god gave doctors their ability to heal so he can work through them" drives me nuts.
If he truly gave us that gift, why do we have to go through years of medical school, internships, and specialist courses?
I could have been healing people at 18 if he gave me that skill. Instead, I've turned 30 and I'm finally fully qualified for my specialty.
