Just trying to say something positive.  It is possible to pray and trust in medical professionals.  They're not always mutually exclusive.

A few months ago they operated on my spine which went great and I’m good as new (tissue from L5/S1 verterbra was pushing against my spinal cord paralising my left leg and foot) I was lying on the table, there were 5 or six doctors and assistants getting things ready for my procedure. I jokingly said to one of the young assistants who was getting the tools ready, that if I watch those shiny tools for a bit longer they wont need to use anesthesia on me. She replied that „now all you got left is prayer” To keep it short - they needed to use more anesthesia on me after that

Cars are expensive to fix, I did a little hillbilly engineering on it and wired it shut for now. I'll take prayers in the light of how they are ment. I had a doctor actually abuse me this last time, he insisted on cutting my face with no anesthesia. I sprained my biceps trying to hold on the the bed rails, I bent one of them. They left an 8" long piece of 1/4 inch tubing in my face by accident but refused to believe i was in pain. The damn titanium plate broke and had to be replaced, they took a piece of bone from my hip to replace the bone that had to be removed. The two and half years of this was a bitch... I know, complain complain...
