CHICAGO (AP) - A new survey suggests that most Americans, and
many doctors, believe that God can intervene to save dying
patients.
Monday's Archives of Surgery reports that 57 percent of randomly
surveyed adults said God's intervention could save a family member
even if doctors declared treatment would be futile. And nearly
three-quarters said patients have a right to demand such treatment.
Researchers say doctors "need to be prepared to deal with
families who are waiting for a miracle."
When asked to imagine their own relatives being gravely ill or
injured, nearly 20 percent of doctors and other medical workers
also said that God could reverse a hopeless outcome.

The doctor told me after my brain aneurysm surgery there was no medical reason that I was alive. I just told him God had plans for me (plus I had so many people praying for me and God will hear prayers)

God most certainly can reverse a hopeless outcome! I’ve seen and know it will happen!
