Why do people thank god instead of medical science when they recover from an awful illness/accident?

@questionWeaver me? I have faith in doctors and medical staff. Anything apart from that is wishful thinking for me.

Okay ... works for me

But, without faith ... you could never appreciate why people thank the Lord.

So ... yes ... I do thank the Lord ... It proceeds from my faith ... and I do believe, that through Jesus's hands ... healing was reported to have occurred.

@questionWeaver I've read the bible and have no doubt jesus (whatever kibd of human he was) did a lot of good things for people. I just struggle to understand, working in a hospital, why so many don't see that it's human perseverance that creates "miracles".

Good point ... it is lazy for somebody with a miracle to thank angels ... yet slight the same angels whose hands delivered the miracle.

My faith leads me to believe prayers are heard ... and medical workers are the angels through which prayer is answered.

Yet ... this angel thing is not robotic. Medical staff have influence, choice and compassion ... it is more like getting the right angel, in the right place, on the right day.
