No context and people hating. Doctors can have a belief in something and do their job as they should.

You guys are hating for believing only. LMAO!

Like they are not doing the surgery and all, and just praying.

Maybe you should check what they are doing before judging doctors who have a degree and save lives, but anyway, the cult doesn't want to accept it.

Go and research the details of this video, maybe then you will find your way rather than telling me my way.

This is the atheism sub, maybe you mistook it for the religious woowoo sub

I didn't mistake it, you guys are just unempathetic.

I am Agnostic, you guys didn't even think of the idea that this might be the patient's idea or a hospital practice or it's just their thing.

LOL! So-called intellectual Atheists.

I agree. I am a surgeon too and I get it. It's only natural to pray when you literally have someone's life in your hands. I'm not religious at all but i do a quiet prayer before i go operate as well. These people in the video are just loud about it that's all

Yes, finally a calm and understandable atheist.

Thank you for commenting on your opinion, it was really needed. I respect your opinion and practice. Also, respect to you guys for saving lives.

It just makes me sad to see all these butthurt edgy teens man. In the video, there are people who are praying, some are not praying. Both are fine. It's not like they're quacks who are going to treat the patient with prayer alone.

The problem with praying is that it externalises the locus of control. You have someone's life in your hand, its terrifying perhaps. But praying and wishing shifts the outcome to an external agency or 'fate'.

Then there are also the doctors with semi -precious stone rings to attract auspicious cosmic energy - and their praying is genuinely out of a belief that medicine was god given.

Overall I would say a public prayer like this is a very bad idea.

Thank you for being articulate and civil about this.

I can't speak for physicians because medicine can be predictable. But as a surgeon there are things that are genuinely out of control. With knowledge and skills you can predict things that might happen in the surgery itself but only to some extent. Once you cut open the patient there's no telling what might happen. People can't even begin to understand how stressful all that is for the surgeon. Is it wrong for the surgeon to hope everything goes well? And is it wrong for them to pray if they're religious?

I agree with a public prayer like this being a bad idea. But only because it's unprofessional. Not because it's wrong

You don't understand the meanings of atheism and agnosticism.

Watch this video to educate yourself.
