There's also the point to be made that if one thinks it appropriate to give credit to "God" for curing their supposedly "incurable" disease...then why not also give due to that same divine being for allowing one to become sick to begin with? It goes both ways. Why is it that only miracles get attributed to God, yet he isn't responsible for the deaths that happen every second of every day? That's not a very loving or gracious way to instill belief.

@columbuschang Agreed, while I totally agree with the notion that every professions have its lot of incompetents (I did had a bad experience with an idiot doctor once), I don't think that 3 different opinions that all ended up being wrong necessarily means that all 3 doctors were incompetent... The will to live is often factored out by medicine and this alone can explain why so many terminal cancer patients eventually get better...

Thanks Neil for scaring the shit out of me. When I go to the hospital I will ask for the least idiotic doctor they have.

Even though I am a Mathematical physicist, I don't think the bashing of medical doctors in this video is fair. I'm sure most of those pre-med students that failed the intro physics classes did not go on to become medical doctors. I have taught lower division math courses, and in my experience the good pre-med students are the most motivated and some of the brightest.
